|  | Model of Sheikh Zayed Mosque to be put on display in MalaysiaJul 31, 2010 - 05:03 - WAM ABU DHABI, July 31st, 2010: A model of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque will be put on display at the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, according to a recently signed agreement between the Sheikh Zayed Mosque Centre and the Kuala-Lampur-based cultural institution.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed Ali Bin Tameem, Chairman of the Board of the Centre and Sayed Mohammed Al-Bukhari, the curator of the Museum in presence of the UAE Ambassador to Malaysia Nasser Al-Abboudi and Rose Mahwati, Director of Administrative Affairs at the Museum.
The Sheikh Zayed Mosque will therefore be the first temporary mosque to be put on display at the Malaysian 12-gallery museum.
In December 1998, Malaysia became home to Southeast Asia's largest museum of Islamic art which now houses more than seven thousand artifacts, as well has an exceptional library of Islamic-art books. Objects on display range from the tiniest pieces of jewellery to one of the world's largest scale models of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca.
