  • Good place and many think we can learn about Islam. The collection is almost complete and they provide a souvenir shop too.

  • This is a must visit in KL. The galleries are full of beautiful Islamic art in a very nice display. There's English text for foreigners in every description. Not only the objects displayed here are beautiful and well maintained, but also the gallery has a gorgeous architecture. This museum actually is what you will expect of a national museum. It's a great way to get to learn more about Islamic religion and history. Totally recommended
  • Such a lovely place! Some truly amazing artifacts and works of art. You can learn so much about Islamic history throughout Asia and see such cool stuff. I’d highly recommend checking it out! There were only about three other people when I went, but it was a weekday. It’s very close to the national mosque, like a 5 minute walk if even. If you ask me it’s much more beautiful and interesting than the mosque which gets a lot more visitors. You should check out both for sure.
