6th September 2023
According to Statista, 63.5% of the Malaysian population professed to be Islamic Faith, hence it’s not a surprise that Malaysia has a rich tradition of Islamic art and architecture everywhere in the nation.
The Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia or Muzium Kesenian Islam Malaysia is a museum in Kuala Lumpur which has the largest museum of Islamic arts in South East Asia with more than seven thousand artifacts from the Islamic world.
The museum consists of twelve gallery spaces spread over two levels; the first level contains galleries devoted to architecture, the Qur’an, and other manuscripts and one each for the art of India, China, and the Malay Peninsula. The second level contains galleries devoted to Arms and Armor, Textiles, Jewelry, and Coins, with the remaining three galleries consisting of artworks categorized by their materials–metal, wood, and ceramics.
