If you want to discover the artistic, historic and cultural significance of the keris, you can visit the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia (IAMM) in Kuala Lumpur to catch the newly-opened Keris: Power And Identity exhibition, an inaugural collaboration between Yayasan Raja Muda Selangor (YRMS) and IAMM.

This keris (a distinctive, asymmetrical traditional dagger) exhibition, which runs until March 13 next year, is housed at the IAMM Special Gallery 2 space.
