Islamic Heritage Museum
The Islamic Museum presents a clear picture of the rich historical heritage and special culture of the Muslim community in Sarawak and throughout the Malay-Indonesian archipelago. The displays trace the connections of the development of Islam here with the rest of the world.
The Islamic Museum building was first built for a school. It was then known as the James Brooke Malay college. Later it became known as the Maderasah Melayu Sarawak (1930). In 1992, the Islamic Museum came into being.
The museum consists of seven galleries set around a central courtyard garden, each with a different theme.

| Third Gallery | Science, Technology, Economics, Education and Literature |
| Fourth Gallery | Music Costumes and Personal Ornaments |
