IAMM Field Trip [ DSM3 ]

1. Initial statement of IAMM is to let people understand the knowledge of Islamic Art and history. 

2. The audience of IAMM will fulfill needs by understanding in depth knowledge about history of Islamic Art in Malaysia. Besides that, there also got many different countries's art and history and in different form like their costume, weapon, coin, textile, manuscript....etc. The audience will be able to understand         what is the unique of artefacts and their sources and so on.

3. The kind of mood has been created comfortable, silent and clean. At the beginning part I was excited and interesting to read through all the information on the board are display and took picture, but the along while I was very tired , bored and lazy to read through all the information, there got a lot of things to see and read, but not everything are really understanding, if got interactive media, I think will be better and wouldn't  be so bored.

4. The most I curious is the Malay's coins with central holes, before I know this, I thought coins with central holes is only existed in China. But then actually another form of Malay coin design has at its centre a hole, it can be either round or square. Besides that central holes, their coins shapes are really similar with Chinese copper cash, but inscription are different , like kelatanese coins the name of the state is written on the obverse, with the month and year of minting on the reverse, but in Petani, the title of the ruler will appears on both sides.

5. My first impression towards Islamic Art is boring, because I thought here is just display all about Malaysia, but actually no, there also got many others countries's history and art, it is interesting and also my impression is got  a lot of knowledge here, but I cant recall back all, only remember what I interested one, like China history and Malay's coins.
