International Museum of Muslim Cultures

This Heritage museum is located in Jackson, Mississippi and their mission is to educate and preserve Islamic culture. The museum wants to recognize and celebrate its Muslim citizens and to promote understanding between different types of religions. The museum has events educating visitors on the Islamic religious customs and traditions. They want to send out a message of religious and racial equality nationally and internationally. Right now there is an exhibit on Islamic Moorish Spain which discusses their contribution to math, science and philosophy to name a few disciplines. Here is another type of Heritage museum as this institution seeks to preserve the legacy of the Islamic culture.

I love this blog, who knew there were so many museums dedicated to the different types of heritage. The part that I love the most is that you show a broad definition of heritage, not just restricting it to cultural. Also the links are a great touch.
