Islamic Museum

The Islamic museum was opened in 1992 as part of the Sarawak Museum complex. The museum is housed in a building originally built as a school, known as the James Brooke Malay College. The school converted well into a museum, as it consisted of several halls organized around two courtyards. Each of the halls now houses a gallery on a different subject. These include the history of Islam in Sarawak, Islamic architecture, science, the arts and weaponry.
