Muzium Islam (Islamic Museum), Kota Bharu (29 April, 2017)


Islamic Museum (GPS: 6.13187, 102.23605), or Muzium Islam, is one of the many museums in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. It is housed in the former residence of the Kelantan Menteri Besar, Hassan bin Mohd Salleh. The historic building was built at the early part of the 20th century of high quality wood. The building is intricately embellished with Islamic calligraphy of Quranic verses.

The building housed the Kelantan Islamic Council and Malay Customs for over seventy years, from 1917 until 1990, when it was renovated and turned into the Islamic Museum. The museum was officially opened by Sultan Ismail Petra on 11 November, 1991. Today the two storey structure houses the museum on the ground floor and an Islamic library on the upper floor.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
