Visit to Islamic Art Museum (Tang Yong Sheng 1103341)


In the Islamic art museum, I have learnt the different style of mosque in different country. They have been influence by different culture so every mosque is unique and have their own special style.

(The Mosque at DAXUEXI LANE)
first, is the mosque in China. It is detached pavilions with a walled garden enclosed. In my mind it don't look like a mosque, It just look like a normal building in China because of the structure of the building is almost influence by the Culture of the China.

In South-east Asia, the mosque with central pyramid roof construction. will look like a  Thai traditional temple and the yellow colour use will be more noble. Another mosque have some Malaysia's traditional building like high heels and so on.
Badshatti Mosque 
Taj Mahal
Mosque with Indian subcontinental will have triple domes and extensive courtyard.
the most i like is the Taj Mahal mosque. The white colour used will show the elegance and virginal.
Masjid Selimiye
Anatolia: it ia use the massive center dome.
Sub Saharan West Africa
The Hypo-style hall using mud-brick or rammed earth construction

The Quba Mosque in Quba' Saudin Arabia is the first mosque ever built in Islam. It highlights the importance of open space and traditional use of brick.

In my opinion, all the mosque have using the symmetrical balance and always give the harmony by using soft colour. It also emphasis the space and the roof. All the mosque give the clean and pure feeling.

This is the sketch about the structure of building when I visit the Islamic art museum.
I am sorry about that I haven't capture photo during study it.

This is the wood and ivory chess set in India (18th-early 19th century AD
I like this so mush because when we see the chess nowadays it just using a cheap materiel and the structure will be as simple as possible.
But when i see this chess set, I stun because it is so beautiful, the structure is so detail. no only the chess, the chess plate have also surrounding by a beautiful and detail carve. All in all is look so nobleness. 

This is the sketch of the miniature Qur'Ans
The smallest and the most I like.
It is mini and for the soldier.
It will have the personal significance and attractive cases.
It is too small so the soldier will bring it will a magnifying glass






Beside the historical relic in the Islamic art museum, I have been attracted by the structure of the building too.
All of the building using white colour has give he harmony and the feeling of peace. The building has emphasis the nature lightning. I really like the blue lamp at the park in 2nd flour. The pattern is so nice and complicated.
