I was visiting Kuala Lumpur last week and took the opportunity to visit the Islamic Arts Museum there.

The building occupies 30,000 square metres, situated amid the leafy surroundings of central Kuala Lumpur’s Lake Gardens.

The Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia houses more than seven thousand artefacts, as well as an exceptional library of Islamic-art books.

The Arms and Armour Gallery is also very well designed and has representations from all over the Islamic world with special emphasis on the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East.

Here are some snaps that I took.

P.S. The Keris in the 1st 2 photographs are from the National Museum, Malaysia.
