The Islamic Museum of Australia is a not-for-profit foundation established in May 2010 with the goal of creating the first Islamic Museum in Australia. As the first center of its kind in the country, it showcases a diverse range of Islamic arts, including architecture, calligraphy, paintings, glass, ceramics, and textiles.
With a focus on providing educational and cross-cultural experiences, the Islamic Museum of Australia aims to highlight the artistic and cultural heritage of Muslims in Australia and around the world. Through its exhibitions and programs, the museum seeks to promote community harmony and enhance understanding of the values and contributions of Muslims to Australian society.
As a community foundation, the Islamic Museum of Australia envisions itself as a leading cultural institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the arts, history, culture, and rich heritage of Muslims and Islamic societies. By offering a platform to celebrate and explore this heritage, the museum plays a vital role in recognizing the significant impact of Muslims on both a global and local scale, particularly within the Australian context.
