Known forheritagecity historyMerdeka Squareiconic
Located in a beautifully restored colonial building beside Merdeka Square, this gallery tells the story of KL's urban development through scale models, historical photographs, and multimedia displays. The enormous illuminated scale model of the city centre is a must-see and genuinely mesmerising. It doubles as a design and souvenir shop with quality local products. Caveat: the exhibition content is somewhat promotional in tone, but the model alone justifies the visit.
