Islamic Arts Museum_Kang Chai Yuen 1106576

The Islamic Art Museum Malaysia is one of the best collections of Islamic decorative arts. The museum is full of beautiful arts and crafts. The information cards for the artifacts are well written and full of interesting facts. The museum building is modern and quiet, which makes me pleasure.

 

When I am going into the museum, it is tranquil in the museum. I was attracted by the dome on top of me. It adorned with gold. I like the pattern of it, simple but noble. I also like the architecture inside the museum. I saw many mosque of different country. It has their own unique design. After my trip to the museum, I benefited much, I learn different culture between different races. Although the museum is big, if you spend some time to walk around you will have learn many knowledge. I was proud of Malaysia because it has such museum which is full of valuable knowledge.

Arch

This arch was part of the interior construction of a house once owned by a Muslim Indonesian aristocrat. It consists of five arches of which the central section is the main doorway flanked by four intricately carved screen panels. Each arch is crowned by a central wild violet medallion. It is a composition demonstrating s hybrid of cultural influences, reflective of Indonesia's cultural diversity-Malay, Chinese and Indian.
