Vision

A place to know and appreciate the richness and diversity of Islamic contributions to the world.

Mission

The mission of our museum is to create a place of serenity, reflection and learning that promotes knowledge and appreciation of

• Queensland Islamic community contributions to the development of Queensland and Australia.
• Islamic contributions to philosophy, science and technology.
• The role of Islamic civilisation in preserving the legacy of European science, medicine, and philosophy.
• How the rise of Islam on the Arabian Peninsula in the early 7th century and its diffusion to neighbouring regions had a major impact on the arts of the greater Middle East, the Mediterranean and South Asia.
That diverse cultures, religions and people have always coexisted in Islamic lands, and the ancient heritage, multiethnic population, and linguistic makeup of each region have been integral to their identities.
