Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia Trip


This was the first time I visit Islamic Art Museum, and when I reached there, the first good impression of this museum was the interior design of the museum. Most museums that I have visited before were in old style or dark brownish color interior design, but this Islamic Art Museum has nice clean mostly white color interior design, so it's more pleasurable and it's not creepy like others. 

There were few things that I found interesting to me in the museum. The thing that I found interesting the most was the China Muslim Mosque. It's quite interesting because the building of the mosque was just like a Chinese temple instead of a mosque. It does not have the big round thing above the building just like what we have seen in Malaysia. It's quite special, as if someone is not been told that this was a mosque, and they will never ever know that was actually a mosque. 

What that I have learnt inside the museum after the visiting was, religion does not restrict to anyone. Even though China is 98% Chinese, but they still have people that are practising Islam. I only heard before that China have some people who are Muslim, but I never expect that China have such a beautiful mosque for the Muslims. Their mosque design is similar to their temple design, I think it's most probably they have already use to and adapted to their culture, so they merge the culture and their religion together, so it forms a Chinese temple design mosque.
