Second tome to this pewter factory so we just got a taxi to it and was greeted by a very nice guide Gloria who know we were on a tight schedule so gave us our very own tour, she was very informative and quite funny which is always nice. We bought numerous items in the shop which we had planned to get all done in half an hour which was fantastic, great work Gloria ????
4. Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,499 reviews
Large open-plan museum on four levels with an impressive collection of Islamic artifacts. The wood carvings are a consistent favorite.
Reviewed By HananB308 - Ramat Gan, Israel
This museum should be a required visit by tourists visiting KL. It deals with a great deal of the culture, crafts and history of the Muslim world, and as such bestows a great deal of honor to that world. A great deal of thought and effort went into the curating of the museum. The sheer amount of material on display requires a long visit or several shorter ones.

We are not Muslims so we didn't quite know what to expect - but we were soon astounded by the history, the artefacts, the architecture and the mosaical patterns that belong to no other race/religion . The world of Islam stands by itself - it is VERY different from the European Western character we were used to - Islamic art, writings, clothing, rugs, ceremonial weapons, pottery and silverware has an ambience all of its own. There is an entrance fee. The building is air-conditioned, there is a restaurant and there are three floors in a huge complex. Nearby is the National Mosque of Malaysia.

I visited the KLCC Convention Centre to attend an international trade fair / expo. The place itself was clean and secure, and had all the basics and amenities that were typical of any venues for trade fairs. What was exceptional was the location. It was right in the city center, within the immediate vicinity of the iconic Petronas Towers and KLCC Park. Steps ahead was the Aquaria KLCC. Thus, major tourist attractions were right beside the venue, Any visitor could just enjoy a late afternoon or evening stroll in the park and enjoy the views after attending whatever event that was being held in the convention center, and later on have a good meal and shopping spree at the Suria KLCC.

Interactive science museum for kids, located in the Petronas Towers.
Reviewed By AdelaideFamilyof5 - Reynella, Australia
This place is on Level 4 of Petronas Towers. When we arrived there was a school group in front of us and we thought it may make our experience longer than normal. Except for the beginning, it wasn't an issue. Cost when we were there was 28 MYR per person. At the beginning you are taken on a small cart on wheels and they step you through some technology over different areas of Malaysia's history. You are the dropped into the exhibition area. There are 11 exhibits to see. Space, Time Tunnel, Geotime Diorama, Science Station, Sparkz, Oil Platform, Speed, Molecule Nano World, Future Energy and 3D Theatre. There is a Cafe about 1/2 way through which stocks basic snacks and coffee at a reasonable price. After 2 hours we had only done 1/2 of the exhibitions. We rushed the last bit and had already spent 3.5 hours there. Could of spent 4-5 hours.

This was my first time going inside a mosque and it was great, we felt very welcomed. They provide robes to cover up so you don’t need to wear anything in particular to visit. We had a free tour (go to gate B) which was very informative about the history of Islam, its teachings and the mosque itself. Our guide Ahmed was very friendly and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. We got a free bottle of water at the end. This visit has been a highlight! An easy grab ride from the centre. Highly recommend.
