The Ibrahim Hussein Museum & Cultural Foundation is the white building on top of a hill near Pantai Pasir Tengkorak just on the way to Datai Bay. This is a private, non-profit foundation set up in 1991 by one of Malaysia's most prominent artists, Dato' Paduka Ibrahim Hussein. It is dedicated to the promotion, development and advancement of art and culture of international stature. The open gallery currently exhibits mostly Dato' Ibrahim's works but in future will also feature collections of other prominent artists from around the world. The museum, built on the edge of the rainforest, is a beautiful place and is the perfect home for the works of this world-renowned Malaysian artist.The centre is also the Langkawi retreat for "Ib", as Ibrahim Hussein is fondly known among his close friends and the international art circle.It is where he would disappear to with his wife and muse, Sim, when he cannot be found at his home in Kuala Lumpur's exclusive Pantai Hills. The idea was that the museum would be built with minimal ecological disruption to the environment - "Ib" wanted it to be a living museum in the rainforest, which it is. He thought that Langkawi could become equally famous. He wanted to create an international art event and use his friends and contacts to make Langkawi known globally and for it to host artworks from all over the world. Open daily from 1000 to 1800 with an admission charge.
