Aga Khan Museum of Islamic Arts, Islamic arts museum at Mindanao State University, Marawi, Philippines

The museum exhibits a collection of Islamic art, Filipino Muslim artifacts, and cultural items including miniaturized pagoda mosques and traditional weapons.

Founded in 1962 as a single room exhibition, the museum received its current name after Aga Khan IV donated funds for a new building in 1963.

The museum preserves traditional folk art from Moro and Lumad communities of Mindanao, including implements, musical instruments, and architectural elements from torogans.

Visitors can reach the museum by taking jeepneys or vans from Iligan City's South Bound Terminal to Marawi, followed by a tricycle ride to MSU campus.

The collection includes over 300 calligraphic sculptures by Abdulmari Imao depicting the name of Allah, along with lantaka cannons and traditional kris swords.
