Where to start?

There are 5 galleries in the museum complex. 3 are in one building while the other 2 galleries are on another building.
  • History Gallery
  • Archaeological Gallery
  • Weapon Gallery
  • Royal Gallery
  • Cultural Gallery
There is also a tomb and cave within the complex. I started exploring the museum complex starting from the Gua Kayang (Kayang Cave) and Al-Marhum Kayang's tomb.

path to the park. I love this spot!

I could understand how some people thought it was the 'kayangan' (heaven/paradise). The huge rocks lent a mysterious air to the path which opens out to a park.
