The Pavilion
Located next to the Round Tower, built in 1909, is the Pavilion. Regarded as something of an architectural enigma, its design is reminiscent of buildings in the Southern states of America - a mixture of late English renaissance and colonial architecture. It served as a General Hospital until 1947. It is currently undergoing renovation to be turned into a textile museum.

The Court House
The Court House was completed in 1874 as a seat of government which brings all government offices and agencies together. It was also intended to be a venue for most of Sarawak ceremonies. State Council Meetings were held here since 1878 until 1973. Back in 1847, it was a site of a missionary but it was then turned into a judicial administration office. In 1858, it was demolished and two more of its present buildings were added. The clock tower was later added to the architecture in 1883, with the obelisk memorial to Rajah Charles Brooke officially commissioned in 1924. It is one of the impressive buildings in Sarawak with belian (iron wood) roof and is decorated with beautiful engravings reflecting the local art form. It now houses the high court, the Magistrate's Court, and several government departments.

Brooke Memorial
Charles Brooke is the second Rajah of Sarawak who has major roles in Kuching history. The memorial of him located in front of the Court House. It is the 6 meter high granite obelisk which was commission in 1924. At the corner of the obelisk is a bronze panel of four figures representing the Sarawakian community which is the blend of Chinese, Deyak, Kayan, and Malay.

The original 1891 building was designed in style of a Normandy townhouse and was extended to its present structure in 1911. The new wing, just across the road, was built in the 1970s and has a reconstruction of life in the prehistoric Niah Caves. There is a bookstore and souvenir shop here as well.

It presents a clear picture of the rich historical heritage and special culture of the Muslim community in Sarawak and throughout the Malay-Indonesian archipelago. The museum consists of seven galleries set around a central courtyard garden, each with a different theme ranging from Islamic artifacts from around the region, the separate fascinating collections of old coins, weapons, costumes, pottery, textiles to the jewelry from the Islamic world.
