Galeri Aura Islam
About This Museum
Tucked away in the modern residential sprawl of East Ledang, Galeri Aura Islam feels like a serene sanctuary. You step inside and the city's hum just fades away, replaced by a quiet reverence for the artistry on display. It’s not a vast, overwhelming hall but an intimate space that encourages you to slow down and truly look. The collection feels deeply personal, almost like walking through a family's cherished heirlooms rather than a sterile museum.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate calligraphy pieces where gold leaf illuminates Quranic verses, and the stunning collection of vintage prayer rugs with patterns you could get lost in. The real showstopper is often the detailed scale models of historic mosques from across the Muslim world.
Visitor Information
It's located in the Anjung Neighbourhood Centre, so it's surprisingly accessible. Given its intimate size, you probably only need an hour or two for a meaningful visit—perfect for a quiet afternoon.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a contemporary commercial block, the gallery's exterior is unassuming, but inside it’s all clean lines and soft lighting that makes the artifacts themselves the main architectural feature.
