The Islamic Arts Museum (IAMM) is one of the best museums in Malaysia with over 7000 top quality artefacts from all over the Islamic world. 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. Where the Chinese and Islamic influences merged to produce some exquisite artworks including cloisonné wares and calligraphic scrolls. Collections of complete costumes from all over the Islamic world are on show as well as some fine wall coverings and rugs.
There are 12 permanent galleries:
Architecture,Quran & Manuscripts,India,China,Malay World,Jewellery,Textiles,Arms & Armour,Coins & Seals,Metalwork,Ceramics,Living With Wood.
Apart from the Permanent Galleries, there are two Temporary Galleries which host special exhibitions periodically.

In recent times, the fascination towards Islamic arts has amplified considerably. Echoing this growing consciousness, in December 1998, Malaysia established Southeast Asia’s most extensive Islamic art museum. The establishment spans over 30,000 square metres. The Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia boasts a collection of over seven thousand artefacts alongside a remarkable library filled with Islamic art literature.
Renowned as one of the premier museums in Malaysia, the Islamic Arts Museum (IAMM) houses more than 7000 exceptional artefacts from various regions of the Islamic world.
