One of the better museum experiences in KL, to learn specifically about Islamic art and history. Amazingly detailed Qoran books, textiles and plates for example. A section has miniature recreations of mosques from around the world which was interesting. Takes 1-2 hours to do.

It doesn't appear to be a big museum at first glance, but it has so many beautiful things to see in each gallery. It's impossible to appreciate everything in just one visit of 2-3 hours! Items from from all around the world in both the permanent and temprary exhibits. Plus there was one special exhibition of local artists. Very informative explanations throughout. So much to learn!
The building itself is beautifully designed, full of natural light in the atrium, and some exquisite ceilings.
A very inexpensive museum considering the large amount to see and the very pleasant atmosphere - MYR 20.
Not crowded despite a public holiday.
Good restaurant, though pricier than average.
Large gift shop.
Toilets clean and with toilet paper.
Main downside is that it's not easy to get to via public transport and walking (similar to many other places in Kuala Lumpur). The air conditioning inside the museum is reward for walking the long distance to get there!
Arguably one of the best attractions of Kuala Lumpur!
