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.

A must see if passing through KL - This museum is fabulous, it avoids the political positions of current debates on Islam. Lots to learn in this extremely clean and functional museum. Lots of factual elements from the shapes of mosques to outfits and holy books (Quran)..I learned a lot

Amazingly underrated tour - 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!
