Malacca Al-Quran Museum

The Malacca Al-Quran Museum is an Islamic manuscript collection in Malacca housed within twelve exhibition halls. These spaces display handwritten Qurans, calligraphy works, and materials documenting Islamic faith and literary traditions.

The museum was established in 2008 within a former Islamic Council building in Malacca. This conversion transformed an administrative structure into a public space for learning about Islamic manuscripts and teachings.

The exhibits show how Islam spread from the Middle East into Southeast Asia and shaped the region's cultural identity. You can see this connection reflected in the displayed objects and how they are arranged throughout the halls.

The building stands adjacent to Malacca's state mosque, making it easy to locate. A shop inside offers books and educational materials related to Islamic subjects for visitors to purchase.

Each of the twelve halls explores a different theme related to the Quran, ranging from ancient handwritten texts to contemporary artistic expressions. This thematic organization allows visitors to understand various dimensions of Islamic scripture in a structured way.
