    We were lucky as we were able to go during the International Museum Day. Thus, there was no entrance fee. Worth the visit for sure!

    Great little museum next door to Orang Asli craft museum. Combined tickets 5MYR. Was empty when we visited. See Orang Asli for separate entry. Both museums are next door to National Museum.
