This gallery showcases fine examples of Islamic architecture ranging from Africa to the Far East. I particularly liked the models of the Taj Mahal, unusual mosque designs in various countries and the large scale model of the Masjid al-Haram, Mecca. The use of natural motifs such as plants, fruits and clouds make their way into local arts such as textiles. Examples of wood carving, metal handicrafts and kris designs are also featured.

A Sanctuary of Beauty and Reflection in Kuala Lumpur

Published on Aug, 2024

The Islamic Arts Museum in Kuala Lumpur is a place I have visited multiple times, and each visit deepens my appreciation for this magnificent institution. The architecture itself is a masterpiece, with intricate designs that invite you to pause and admire every detail. There’s a serene calmness within the museum that creates an atmosphere perfect for meditation and contemplation. The museum’s collection offers profound insights into the contributions of Islam to global culture and society. It beautifully showcases the rich history, artistry, and intellectual achievements of the Islamic world, providing a much deeper understanding than many other institutions I’ve visited. In fact, I find it even more compelling than the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, which is an impressive museum in its own right. After exploring the museum, don’t miss the treasure trove that awaits you downstairs. The museum’s shop is truly a “cave of wonders,” filled with exquisite pieces that reflect the beauty and craftsmanship of Islamic art. Whether you’re looking for unique souvenirs, beautifully crafted textiles, or intricate jewelry, the shop offers an array of items that are as inspiring as the museum itself. If only this museum could be itinerant, allowing more people around the world to experience its treasures and the profound peace it inspires. The Islamic Arts Museum is not just a place of learning but also a sanctuary where one can truly connect with the beauty and depth of Islamic civilization. For anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur, this museum is an absolute must-see. It offers more than just a glimpse into the past; it provides a space for reflection on the profound impact of Islam on the world today, with a delightful shop that serves as the perfect conclusion to your visit.

Amazingly underrated tour

Published on Feb, 2024

Aris was an excellent tour guide and he provided enjoyable experiences at the Islamic Arts Museum, National Monument and Palace, and Merdaka Square. He gave us many recommendations on food and other places to visit, was well versed in all things Malaysia. He was thoughtful, enjoyable to be around, engaged, answered and asked questions, took many pictures and provided us with some value adds; water bottles, took some videos and shared back the photo's. On a scale of 1 - 10, we felt it was a solid 10. Definitely recommend Aris if you need a personal guide!
