Lonely Planet review for Islamic Arts Museum

Containing one of the best collections of Islamic decorative arts in the world is KL’s outstanding Islamic Arts Museum. Aside from the quality of the exhibits, which include fabulous textiles, carpets, jewellery, calligraphy-inscribed pottery and an amazing reconstruction of an ornate Ottoman room, the building itself is a stunner, with beautifully decorated domes and glazed tilework. There’s a Lebanese restaurant offering a set lunch (RM43; closed Monday) and a well-stocked shop selling beautiful high-quality crafts products and art books.

    A well thought out museum.

    markbroadhead recommends this,

    Definitely visit this museum. It is full of beautiful arts and crafts. Some museums have too little information, others too much, but this one is like the Baby Bear of Goldilocks fame: just right. The information cards for the artifacts are well written and full of interesting facts. The museum building is modern and quiet, which adds to the pleasure.
