Islamic Museum of Australia
The Islamic Museum of Australia (IMA) is an Australian community museum located in Thornbury, Victoria. It was established as a non-profit organization in May 2010 with the goal of constructing Australia's first Islamic museum. Through the presentation of artworks and historical items, it strives to highlight the creative legacy and historical contributions of Muslims in Australia and abroad.
The Islamic Museum of Australia, tucked away in the industrial backstreets of one of Melbourne's northern districts, strives to foster cultural diversity. Decypher Architects turned a disused bottling plant into a contemporary gem, complete with stunning administrative offices. Two bridges connect the welcome area to the galleries, which are staffed by the city's friendliest people. Dark corridors connect to brilliant places, which is a great metaphor for the museum's and its founders' goals.
