Malacca Al-Quran Museum, Quran museum in Malacca, Malaysia
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 opened to the public on 10 January 2008, developed through cooperation between the Restu Foundation and the Malacca State Government. It was set up beside the state mosque of Malacca, in a building with twelve main halls and a shop.
The museum's collection traces the spread of Islam from the time of the divine revelation during Prophet Muhammad's life and that of his close companions, across the Middle East, Indochina and the rest of the Malay world. Old Quran manuscripts and special art collections carry this story through the twelve 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.
