The Best Museums

Islamic Arts Museum (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia): A superb exhibit of the influence of world cultures on the arts of Islam, including architecture, calligraphy, cloth weaving, and costume.

Penang Museum and Art Gallery (Penang, Malaysia): A slick display of Penang's colonial history and multicultural heritage, this place is chock-full of fascinating tidbits about the people, places, and events of this curious island. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the air-conditioning works very well!

State Museums of Melaka (Malaysia): This small city has more museums than any other city in the country, with some unusual displays such as kites and Malaysian literature. Don't miss the Cultural Museum (Muzium Budaya) and Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum.
