The Islamic Arts Museum in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia is a great museum to learn about the Islamic arts. The museum is quite large and holds a large number of pieces . There are many writings , Korans and pottery pieces . The museum has a fee for the entry but does include a free drink in the restaurant . The restaurant is not bad but the service is very very poor. The museum is about 400 meters from the entrance of the National Mosque of Malaysia. you can visited both during the same time period.

Enjoyed my time here! Nothing to complain about but was a bit shocked at the price. Exhibitions were well explained. So much to learn about and quite frankly the best museum in KL. The building itself is very modern and well maintained

One of a kind. Gorgeous museum telling the history and traditions of Islam you will not see in any other country. Extremely rich in exhibits. It is located very close to the National Mosque, so it's comfortable to visit both at the same time.
