National History Museum

29 Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Tel: +60 3 2694 4590; 2694 4591; 2694 4592
 

Originally built as a commercial bank in 1910, the building was chosen to become a museum due to its convenient location, and its surroundings. The Moorish features and Islamic motifs of this tri-level building blend well with the neighbouring Mogul buildings. In 1996, the renovated building opened its doors as the National History Museum. It now houses a permanent collection of artefacts and dioramas depicting the wealth of Malaysia's historical heritage. Exhibits include 520 million-year-old metamorphic sandstone, a 40,000-year-old Homo sapiens skull and an eight-sided gold coin dating back to the 15th century. Admission Free.
