Penang Islamic Museum, History museum in George Town, Malaysia
The Penang Islamic Museum occupies a restored 1860 villa that showcases Islamic heritage through exhibits, antiques, and maritime-themed dioramas.
The building belonged to Syed Mohammad Alatas, an Acehnese merchant who supported rebels against Dutch control and led the Red Flag society.
The museum presents collections documenting the influence of Malay leaders in spreading Islam across Penang through artifacts and historical records.
Museum admission costs RM3 for adults and RM1 for children under 12, with opening hours from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM except Tuesdays.
Visitors can examine preserved 19th-century furniture that reflects the Indo-Malay Straits architectural style within the restored mansion.
