Museum and Around KL

Christine, Craig, and I had a day at a few of the museums In Kuala Lumpur.

We first visited The National Museum which provides an overview of Malaysian history and culture. Its facade comprises elements of traditional Malay and modern features1.

The museum houses four main galleries allotted to ethnology and natural history (geology). The displays range from free-standing tableaux showing cultural events like weddings, festivals and costumes; to traditional weapons, musical instruments, arts and crafts, ceramics, and flora and fauna. It was great learning about Malaysia.

We also visited the Kuala Lumpur City Gallery. Located on Merdeka Square in the heart of downtown Kuala Lumpur1, this gallery showcases history and culture of Malaysia’s capital city.
The building itself is a classic piece of Indo-Saracenic architecture, built in 1898 to serve as the colonial government’s printing office. Inside, you’ll find a wealth of information about Kuala Lumpur’s past, present, and future. The city models were impressive!!!Read more
