A focused and respectful museum dedicated to Malay cultural heritage, covering traditional crafts, textiles, performing arts, and the evolution of Malay identity. The batik and songket textile displays are particularly detailed and beautifully presented. It's a quieter, more contemplative experience than the larger national museums. Caveat: signage is primarily in Bahasa Malaysia so non-Malay speakers may miss some nuance.
