They have refurbished the place with better exhibits comparable to the museums overseas. One must take a photo of the centre court from above. Very nice floor pattern.
5 RM entrance fee are absolutely fair and I can only recommend to join the free tour guided by volunteers at 10am, which was great!
Well-organized exhibits present the history of Malaysia from prehistoric geology, to colonial era politics, up to Merdeka and beyond. The choice of visuals reveal much about its national self-image.
The museum houses various exhibits depicting the historical background of the country . The exhibits are on a rotation basis, so it is best to check out the museum on their exhibits at the time.
It was nice and worth it! The ticket price only Rm2 😊
On weekdays and Saturdays at 10 there's a free tour by Museum Volunteers Malaysia. Very interesting. Tours are in English, but tours in French and Japanese are also available.
I'm not talking about what's inside, but just at the entrance of the National Museum , you'll find SegKL where one can participate in a guided tour around Lake Gardens for an hour on a Segway.
Taking a peek into the country 's history, will definitely give you an appreciation of Malaysia and just what makes it so beautifully unique.
Not really that recommend especially for Arabic people and those who already had a look at any of the Arabic and Islamic museums . Same traditional Islamic history and stuff.
Great place to bring your kids. Cheap tix price.
Up to date but still can improve more to give good information for the public
Pretty impressed that it’s so cheap and well maintained. Very informative as well .
It's truly a sad building n exhibits . At some rare times there is a good event but mostly sad. Westerner surely feel let down compared to others they wld have seen. Needs mega improvements
Open daily from 9 am to 6 pm (except on 1st day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Aidiladha). Admission charge of RM2 per pax (Malaysian) and RM5 per pax (Non Malaysian).
Not very interesting exhibition . A lot of text - if you are ready to read you can learn a lot about Malaysia. But this is ok for a book , you are waiting something else from National Museum .
Meooow.. There are a lots of stray cats in a museum . How can?
If you're foreigners, that's worth it. For Malaysian, I don't really think it worth the visit. Not like old times which now looks rather dull. Museum suppose to be fun and very interesting. Sorry.
Discover the Malay culture , history of Malaysia and its independance.

You've got to understand the history of this country to start enjoying the trip.
Nothing much to see but a good place to have some rest in the a/c on ur way to the Lake Garden
This place remained the same over the past decade, with nothing new being added, and the poor maintenance of old artifacts/replicas. Partially disappointed. Check the video/movie screen🖓
