Malaysia's fascinating Islamic history is showcased at the Islamic Arts Museum, which houses one of the best collections of Islamic art in the world. The building itself is full of striking Islamic architectural details and the galleries contain carpets, costumes, textiles, tiles, ceramics, jewellery, weapons and religious manuscripts.

Highlights include a stunning recreation of an Ottoman room and a collection of miniature models of famous mosques from around the world. The complex also includes an upmarket restaurant serving Middle Eastern buffet lunches at weekends and an excellent shop selling high-quality Islamic arts and crafts.
