Islamic Museum of Australia

I found this an interesting museum as I don't know a lot about Islam, and to be honest I still don't.

It was an okay museum to visit, educational, there was some cool stuff, but there were a few things I found very disappointing.

Nearly all their images were from shutterstock. Maybe all the images. I found the stock images used disappointing. It just seemed such an easy road.

I know some amazing photographers that are Islamic. I'm sure their work would have kicked ass and given an artistic view of Islam from a more creative perspective of Australian Islamics. I found the use of stock images dis-engaging

Some of the really amazing exhibits didn't have a year or were missing information.

I loved the modern art room with the designer surf boards and abstract art, and the small cabinet with some ancient stuff.

The science room was really interesting too

It was interesting reading some of the information about woman and Islam, though I thought perhaps it could have had a bit more detail.

There were sculpture stands with nothing on them. What was there? what did I miss?

There was an amazing central garden which you couldn't access.

Other than that, cheap entry, interesting place and interesting to know when the dark ages where happening in Europe etc, the light ages were happening for Islam.

Lets hope humanity can combine ages sometime and get intelligent again.....

I haven't tried the cafe yet and have been meaning to. Would have been nice to have a food /education section in the museum too as food is important in all our cultures :)

Worth a visit would recommend visiting.
