Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia

The finest museum of Islamic art in Southeast Asia, the IAMM houses over 12,000 artefacts spanning 1,400 years and dozens of cultures — from a scale replica of the Masjid al-Haram dome to extraordinary Quranic manuscripts, armour, textiles, and architectural models. Its architecture alone, with tilework and calligraphy of museum-quality craftsmanship, justifies the visit.
