The history of Islam in the state can be traced at this Islamic Museum or also known as Balai Syura (Syura Hall). The museum is housed in a large two-storey traditional wooden house which used to be Kelantan's first school of Islamic studies. The establishment of this Islamic Museum testifies to the importance the state places on the religion.
Exhibits inside include Islamic fine arts and crafts and photographs of the belongings of Prophet Muhammad and of Islamic historical sites. The Islamic Museum is located along Jalan Tengku Chik, close to the Istana Balai Besar.
