Islamic Heritage Museum, Islamic museum in Kuching, Malaysia

The Islamic Heritage Museum in Kuching is a building with seven galleries presenting Islamic artifacts, handwritten Quranic texts, textiles, and objects spanning different periods. The exhibition covers the story of Islamic civilization in Sarawak and beyond, focusing on material culture and daily life.

The building first served as the James Brooke Malay College school. In 1930 it became the Sarawak Malay Madrasa, a religious school. On 22 May 1992 it was converted into the Islamic Heritage Museum, which is part of the Kuching Heritage Trail.

The museum displays Islamic decorative crafts and objects from everyday life that reflect religious and artistic traditions. Visitors encounter handmade works showing how artistic skill and practical function blended together in Islamic civilization.

The museum is part of the Kuching Heritage Trail. It opens daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on weekdays and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekends, with free admission. The building has a raised floor and two inner courtyards, and its seven galleries are arranged around them.

The building features two inner courtyards and raised flooring designed in traditional Malaysian style. These features show how the space was built to manage heat and airflow in the tropical climate.
