Known forcraftsheritageshoppingArt Deco
A beautifully restored 1930s Art Deco market building that now serves as KL's main hub for Malaysian arts, crafts, batik, and cultural souvenirs. It's genuinely the best single stop for quality handicrafts — look for batik fabric, pewter, and Sarawakian beadwork from reputable stalls. Prices are negotiable and quality varies, so browse before committing. The adjacent Annexe Gallery hosts rotating contemporary art shows worth checking.
