A tribute to the sultan and the grand trappings of Royalty, this museum is a highlight of any trip to Brunei.

The Royal Exhibition Gallery showcases a selection of Royal Regalia from His Majesty's childhood days up to the time of his coronation, such as jewel-encrusted crowns, thrones, garments and His Majesty's revered silver Keris (dagger). The Silver Jubilee Gallery celebrates the mark of His Majesty's 25th ruling year. Here, one can view film footage of the auspicious event, amongst other Royal Regalia that made an appearance during the occasion. There is also the Constitutional History Gallery, which houses documents, photographs, film and recordings, and a gallery devoted to the life of His Majesty The Sultan up to the time of his coronation.

The Brunei Museum was established in 1965, with its first administrative office at the Civic Centre in Bandar Brunei, now known as Bandar Seri Begawan. Given approval for a building of its own, a location was selected for the museum, on a historical site, at Kota Batu about 5km from Bandar Seri Begawan. The construction of the building commenced in 1968 and was completed in 1970. It was officially opened on February 29, 1972 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of United Kingdom.

First of all, it is an overstatement to call this a "museum". A better description would be "exhibition". It consists of 2 halls: first one is the exhibition of the ship wreck itself, which is very well done. The second hall, is more of a history of Brunei as a trading post. Entrance was free, and during our visit on a Saturday morning from 09:30-10:45 we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff was super friendly. Recommend to visit if you like history.
