★★★★★Edited a month agoNeed some walk from the Sultan Abdul Samad Building but definitely worth a visit! The textiles and fabric are well preserved and the traditional styles are all relevant to every races culture in Malaysia. They do have a creative area for kids and very aesthetic to take a outfit look here

★★★★★7 months agoIt’s a great place to visit together with Merdeka Square. Although there is an entrance fee, the price is very reasonable, the air-conditioning inside is excellent, and while the museum is not very large in scale, the exhibits are rich and informative. Along with the Islamic Arts Museum, this was a remarkably impressive place. If you are visiting the Merdeka Square area, I highly recommend taking the time to stop by.
