Malaysia Science Centre

Few weeks ago, Saturday morning we are planning to walk to the park, just as usual. Wearing our walking-to-park outfit, me, my husband and my son, of course, planning to go to the Titi Wangsa Park. That day was just sooo hot, and we already late for the morning walk. Suddenly the idea appears, we totally change our destination. Instead of going to the park, we visit the Malaysian Science Centre or in Bahasa Melayu they call it Pusat Sains Negara.

This place is located at Persiaran Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. It is nearby Royal Selangor Club Bukit Kiara. If your coming from Damansara Area, just follow the LebuhRaya Sprint and take the exit toward Persiaran Bukit Kiara, the place will be on your right.

Arrived in this place, we found out that they are having the StarTrek Exhibition. Actually we are not the fan of it, but we do want to see what's inside the exhibition. We can feel the ambience of the StarTrek start from the door.

The fee to enter the Science Centre is only RM 6 per person, but if you want to enter  the StarTrek Exhibition it is RM 20 per person. The Science Centre it self is not too big, and not too complete also if we compare to Singapore Science Centre. 

Entered the main door, we will find the big Aquarium with many kind of fishes. My son is just so happy to see the fishes flying above him. Go through inside we can find lots of scientific tools, but presented in an attractive way.  I would not mention each of the gallery, you can find in this link. Please don't be too excited by looking to the web, because from what I found the picture at the web is way too good compare to the original look. Hehe.. I think ya..most of the website is like that of course. It is worth seeing though, but maybe one time is enough for me.

This are several pictures taken from the site.. Ohya..we are allowed to take pictures inside the science centre but not at the StarTrek Exhibition area. Food and Drinks is not allowed right after entering the main door of the science centre. But don't worry they have a cafe inside the place.

Islamic Art Museum

There is a place that I always recommend my relatives to take a visit in KL, the place called Islamic Art Museum. Located in Jalan Lembah Perdana, Kuala Lumpur, Islamic Art Museum, is also within a walking distance from National Mosque, Planetarium, KL Bird Park and Al Hijrah TV Station.

I checked the website before we went to this place. The website was very informative, we can see clearly what we are going to find in the place. This is also one thing that I love about this country, the government site, the private site very well prepared. The website itself represent the place, even though sometimes it looks way too good compared to the original place, but it attracts people to visit.

Ok, come back to museum. When we reached this place, the place is very quite and looks like nobody is here to visit. I start to worried, is this place that one of kind that only good in website. Haha, but it's ok since we've already here. 

The entrance fee is just cheap, 

• Adult : RM 12
• Students : RM 6
• Senior Citizens : RM 6
• Child : under 6 is free

In this place almost all the wall, even the elevator wall was designed with the Islamic Art Museum Logo. Which is nice :) So, we went up using elevator. Stop at the 1st floor, and wow!! I'm amazed with the first thing I saw that time. This 1st section contains of the famous Mosque from around the world in the mini size. It was a beauty!

I don't took all the Mosque photo, because it's hard to take it since all of it covered with the glass box. Also, I forgot to take note the mosque's name.. Hahaha..

= a beauty =

very detail

After that, I found the Qur'an manuscript section. Of course the museum also have the Qur'an Miniature :) Very cute..

how to read?

Then the next section is more about the Islamic Cultural History, also jewellery, textile, ceramic, coin, and metalwork from Islamic area in several Islamic Country. I also remember that, this museum somehow manage to have one of the original the Ka'Bah door cover. Very huge one..

Not only the showroom, this museum also got the restaurant and the museum shop. Haha..next pit stop is the museum shop. Spend almost an hour in this shop, for me, wherever museum I went to, I need to buy the signature of the place. And this museum shop is awesome, things that they sell here was using the good materials, like the book, the bookmarks, cup, calligraphy, even the t-shirt design also good. My husband bought the Kiblah compass and a T-Shirt, my son bought T-shirt and I like usual, bought the bookmark and pin.
We do not try the restaurant that time, so I can not give the food review.
