  Lots to see. The tiny models of mosques and other religious buildings around the world are very well-made, it's like seeing the real thing. Even though it's called the Islamic Arts Museum, there are many South East Asia, West Asia and East Europe art artifacts. You can learn about how different cultures influence and fuse their art creations, as well as the history of different art forms. The building interior is gorgeous and decorated with geometrical tiles and ceilings. There's also a small garden for great photography.

  The place is absolutely gorgeous. For instagrammers, there's a lot of breathtaking architecture to boost up your likes. The staffs here are also friendly, and the artifacts here are kept really well. Overall, the place is so sophisticated and I would recommend 10/10. Looking forward to visit here, especially your library in the near future!
