Busana: Traditional Costumes of the Malay World
Islamic Arts Museum,Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia
Busana: Traditional Costumes of the Malay World is an immersive cultural exhibition that celebrates the rich textile and dress traditions of the region—from present-day Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, southern Thailand and the Philippines. The show highlights the artistry, diversity and cultural meaning of traditional Malay attire (busana) through an array of textiles and complete outfits—from shimmering songket and rare ikat limar weaves to intricately dyed batik, tenun and richly embroidered ceremonial garments.
