Islamic Art Museum 13/10/2011

Architecture
The Al-Masjid al-Ḥarām,is the largest mosque in the world.Located in the city of Mecca. Holy-Ka'aba is the cube on the center on the mosque. That is the import mosque in muslin world.

From the architecture, i learned a new knowledge is the usage of dome. Before that, the technology is not that useful, so that they design the mosque with a big dome use for as a speaker function.

Inspiration
The most interested in this museum is the lifestyle of them. example like jewellery, coin, metalwork, textiles and ceramics.

On the jewellery, there are not much on diamonds, emeralds or rubies, but all is in stones, metals and some gold. And i founded that, they are wearing a heavy gift on their body, the heavier is around 5kg.

Beside that, the Coin Gallery one of my favorite part on it. They is a lot of design and some meaning on the coins. And the muslin coins in China also the different shape and design with others country. Some how the China muslin coins shapes is similar as the traditional coins.

On the metalwork, there is a lot of the collection of their lifestyle, on there i found out the things that they use to pray. The most query is I didn't knew in muslin they use incense, and i found out in muslin they use incense for believers in Paradise. which is full moon day.
