The National Museum of Malaysia

#malaysiatrip It's a relatively small national museum compared to those in most Western countries but quite adequate to inform the public about Malaysia through history. It is divided into 4 wings dedicated to geologic and human pre history, followed by proto history, the colonial period, then finally independence from the British Empire and more modern political developments. The presentation of various ethnic groups groups living in modern Malaysia was also quite welcome. It certainly helps tourists appreciate and navigate the cultural diversity they encounter in the country. Those who have visited other Southeast Asian nations will be able to put Malaysia in context. The museum is centrally located so access by public transportation is easy. Parking is available if you arrive by private cars. Entrance fee at RM2 (Malaysian) is affordable. Save 2 to 3 hours for a thorough visit. The building is air conditioned and provides a good refuge from heat and humidity. On the overall the National Museum is a good deal.
