Melaka Islamic Museum, Islamic cultural museum in Central Malacca, Malaysia

The Melaka Islamic Museum (Muzium Islam Melaka) occupies the former office building of the Melaka Islamic Religious Council on Jalan Kota. Its interior is arranged as eight main exhibition spaces, each with its own theme, tracing the spread of Islam in Melaka and the Malay Archipelago. Displays combine Islamic art from the region with objects of global Islamic art.

The building on Jalan Kota formerly housed the office of the Islamic Council of Malacca (MAIM) before the council moved beside the State Mosque. The premises were then extensively renovated to create space for the museum, which was set up as a centre for collecting, researching, conserving and exhibiting Islamic material. Its displays trace Malacca's earlier role as one of the centres for the spread of Islam in the Malay Archipelago.

The museum displays how Islamic practices evolved and blended with local Malaysian customs through manuscripts and everyday religious objects on view. Visitors can observe how faith shaped daily life and community practices across different time periods.

The museum occupies the old Islamic Council of Malacca office on Jalan Kota and closes on Mondays, so plan the visit for another day of the week. Inside, eight numbered exhibition rooms follow set themes in sequence, which lets visitors move through the displays in a clear order.

The museum occupies the former offices of the Malacca Islamic Council, which moved to a site beside the State Mosque before the building was converted. Its eight themed galleries were laid out during renovation work to guide visitors through the story of Islam in Malacca and the Malay Archipelago.
