THE STAR

The Inverted Dome Pavillion at the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia offers space for a variety of events, including photography and art exhibitions.

MALAYSIA---I so often wondered what the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia (IAMM) in Jalan Lembah Perdana, Kuala Lumpur is all about. That opportunity presented itself when I was requested to contribute my piece to this edition of “KL on a Shoestring” series. Located in the green surroundings of Kuala Lumpur’s Lake Gardens, IAMM is said to be one of the world’s youngest museums. Displaying a modern architectural style with an Islamic feel, the 30,000sq m building was opened on Dec 12, 1998. For details, visit IAMM’s website at www.iamm.org.my [link]
