Ipoh World at Han Chin Pet Soo

Ipoh World (IpohWorld) is an education-based, not-for-profit organisation established in 2004 to promote awareness and appreciation of Perak, the Silver State of Malaysia and its unique, diverse and rich heritage, with particular focus on Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. In 2006 we ran our first public exhibition "The Story of Ipoh: From Feet to Flight", in cooperation with Darul Ridzuan Museum. Since then, supported by sponsorship, we have run several more exhibitions while continuing to seek further financial support for a permanent, lively and interesting heritage gallery for Ipoh, thus enhancing both education and tourism. This current project, our first permanent, museum quality exhibition is our first step to fulfilling this objective. Advance booking is recommended as space in the building is limited. You may book via our website by clicking on Exhibitions or by the QR Code on our brochure. It is quick and easy and you receive a booking confirmation by return.

Educational and informative visit with guided tour by an English speaking guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, an introduction to the Hakka culture and their tin mining forays in Malaysia, recommend a visit here, location is near to concubine Lane, best to make prior appointment but can walk in as well and if they have space they will accommodate you, there is no entrance fees but highly recommend that you leave a small donation for them to upkeep the place, we enjoyed our visit here

Yasmin At Kong Heng

Yasmin Ahmad's commercials and movies struck a chord with many a local (and more than a few from abroad) for their honest portrayal of the beauty of everyday Malaysian life. She showed us ordinary, flawed human beings who are capable of being extraordinary - of achieving great things and great happiness, because love and kinship triumph above all else. It is our ultimate goal to propagate this spirit of universal harmony through Yasmin's philosophies that she channelled through her many works. If life imitates art as well as the other way round, we can think of no better purpose to establish an outlet for such artistic expressions to flourish freely. THE YASMIN AHMAD MUSEUM: Yasmin At Kong Heng A resource centre as well as unconventional 'museum' curated with the objective of educating and inspiring others to write film or commercial scripts of their own. It is a small but flexible space where the late Yasmin Ahmad's spirit, love, wisdom and sense of humour can continue inspiring the next generation. The location of Kong Heng in Ipoh was chosen for its proximity to many of the locales where Yasmin shot her famous films. It will not be a conventional museum for a 'dead person's things' or stagnant archives with permanent plaques. Instead, Yasmin At Kong Heng is an evolving space with content that is refreshed every 6 months to 1 year. Yasmin's life's work - whether in film, poetry, photography, TV and even print advertising - will be shared in a "newseum" that inspires and springboards new talent and ideas. And, in the near future, we want to make it a place for local creative talent to shine - from students and aspiring filmmakers to new artists who need an exhibition space.

The Geological Museum

Reviewed By AnnT364 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I'm not really into geology, so I didn't really expect much from this museum. Boy, was I in for a surprise! Parking just outside the entrance was free. You have to take off your shoes to enter, so it's clean. Walking around bare-footed gave the place a homely feeling! No need to pay any entrance fee, just register yourself in the visitors book at the front counter. Though the museum is relatively small, it is well organised and well kept. The exhibits and information are easy to comprehend and make geology sound so interesting! Would definitely recommend on a trip to Ipoh. Do take note of the opening times before you go. Mon - Thur 9.00 am - 12.30 pm, 2.00 - 4.30 pm Fri 9.00 am - 12.00 pm, 3.00 - 4.30 pm Sat, Sun, public holidays Closed
