 | Kuala Lumpur National Museum Reviews | 1 - 10 of 29 |  |
The National Museum looks promising from the outside, however, once inside, it is a bit limited. As is customary in Malaysia, much is made of the three distinct cultures that have had an impact on the country, and there are dioramas of different cultures and cultural practices.
Curiously enough, for a place that so thoroughly embraces its multicultural heritage, the mannequins in the exhibit all seem to look very Western, Anglo even....
It's not a bad way to learn a few things about the country, and it provides a good respite from the heat. Leave a Comment Phone: +60 3 2282 6255Directions: Near Sentral Station, however, you have to figure out the best way to walk across the highway to get there from that stop.

 Historic cable car in the
courtyard. by Kakapo2
The palace-like building is a brilliant example of Malay architecture. The building is topped by a huge roof in the Menangkabau style. Italian mosaics adorn the façade at both sides of the main entrance.
The building, which replaced the original museum that was destroyed in World War II, consists of a large central main entrance hall, and that is flanked by two exhibition wings. You find everything about Malaysia’s history and rich culture including a huge library.
Even if you have limited time do not miss this museum. At least have a look at its architecture and the outdoor display area which includes old locomotives, vintage cars and replicas of ancient Malay palaces.
Open daily 9am – 6pm

The Malaysian National Museum is located at Jalan Damansara. There are a few routes where one can take. The site itself used to be the Selangor Museum, which is one of the fourteen states in the Federation of Malaysia. Construction of the Museum started in 1961 after a few terrible incidents during World War I and World War II and completed in 1965 - the same year it was opened to public.
The Museum consists of local history, culture, traditions, arts & crafts, local flora and fauna as well as defence systems. It's a good place to start off to learn about the country.
