Excellent visit, a man whom begin his life as a doctor and successfully manage to share his herbal tea in the world. A true philanthropist whom never cease to give back to his needy society. Such character and man is rarely seen anymore in Malaysia. My first visit to Ipoh after many years and my desire to visit and get to know how he had manage to bring up herbal tea importance to the current modern society. A journey which evolves through time. Lovely museum, please continue to keep up preserving this lovely tradition and journey of herbal tea.

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.

Located at the basement of the bookstore, the space dedicated to the late Yasmin Ahmad. It showcased some of her photography as well as masterpiece. May Allah Bless Her Soul.

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

Miniature Wonders Art Gallery

We're promoting art and culture with our miniature figurine and scenery through more understanding about history.

Reviewed By AnnT364 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

From the moment we stepped into the place, we were taken in by these little scenes depicting the life and culture of the common people, soldiers and royalty from ancient China. All the figures are made from dough and the attention to details is simply amazing! The buildings and other structures are made from other materials such as cardboard, wood, plastic or anything that works. Very educative. Free admission to view the displays on the ground level and RM5 to see more upstairs. Highly recommended.

Reviewed By PWindle - Brussels, Belgium

It was raining and this was a colorful hideaway. Pleasant surprise, including the shop downstaris that fashions fine furniture to order and for export using local wood. The museum is clean and well arranged, showing rooms staged as in other times. Many nostalgic pieces incl. a barbers chair, radios, old Mah-jong table and pieces, old wooden umbrellas, photos etc.

This small old workshop for coffee Browing is nice and interesting. The only spot I enjoyed to visit is this boring city. But the coffee is local though low quality. I didn't buy some. Just bought some biscuits haha
