Steve W
★★★★★2 months agoStunning museum with amazing precious historical artifacts and taught us allot about Islamic Art and architecture. The building itself is worth visiting without all the incredible stuff in it. It is a way away from other places and the on site restaurant is quite expensive, so plan your lunching accordingly. Taking a picnic for the park not a bad idea.
Nur Hanis
★★★★★9 months agoA very big and beautiful place. There’s a lift available. Adult ticket: RM20 | Child: Free (not sure from what age they start counting as adult). There are a few parking spots near the building, but more are available across the road. I felt amazed by the history of how Islam spread across the world — how art, culture, and technology blended with Islam and created so many beautiful forms of architecture, tools, and artifacts. It shows that Islam is not just a religion, but a way of life that expresses beauty in many aspects of society. Proud to be a Muslim. How wonderful it would be to see the Islamic civilization rise again. Truly a beautiful and inspiring place.
