Kuching Islamic Museum: A Gateway to Islamic Heritage in Borneo

#hellohalloween

The Kuching Islamic Museum offers a rich educational journey through Islamic history and culture in Southeast Asia. Housed in a beautifully restored Islamic-style building, the museum features seven galleries highlighting various aspects of Islamic civilization — from architecture and science to daily life and art.

Visitors can explore ancient Qur’anic manuscripts, traditional Malay-Muslim costumes, ceremonial weapons, calligraphy, and intricate Islamic ceramics. One gallery focuses on the spread of Islam in Sarawak and the contributions of local Muslim communities. The artifacts reflect centuries of cultural exchange between the Islamic world and Borneo. With its serene courtyards and photogenic domes, the museum is not just a visual delight but also a profound learning space about Islamic heritage.
