Muzium Negara was officially opened on 31 August 1963, on the site of the Selangor Museum, which was accidentally bombed during the Second World War.The main museum building houses four exhibition galleries featuring Malaysia’s history and rich cultural diversity. The Prehistory Gallery showcases the formation of the Malay Archipelago with findings of numerous important prehistoric archaeological sites in Malaysia. There's no need to book ahead, just be at the museum front desk about 10 mins before.Tours are in English - but tours in Malay, Mandarin, French, Japanese and other languages are also available. For the latest schedule, please check the museum website.

Spent a thorough 2 hours on a tour of Malaysian history at Muzium Negara today, guided by my now favourite volunteer guide, the lovely and passionate Ong Li Ling. It was a good refresher of what I already know and an eye opener in relating local events with global events at the time. From different perspectives, I might add. Met some interesting people along the way too. A good way to start Malaysia Day 2019. PS: They have tours almost every day at 10am and 2pm. Go check it out.

I happened to go by and went to the residence section of the memorial. It was exceptionally well kept. It was kept in the same state as when mr Razak lived there. I did like the calmness and beauty of the place. Wouldn't go here just to visit, but nice to pop by if going past. It's free.

Walking through the two floors of this palace building, you do get a "feel of the royal life" (although most of the rooms can just be peeked at from outside), and you also get to learn somewhat of their lives from the photos on the walls (saw some photos of one of the kings playing tennis and also those of the royal visit by Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip some decades ago); be sure to walk all the way to the pretty-grand royal bedroom on one end of the second floor with also the two big bathrooms nearby (one for the King & one for the Queen). And then, there's the Throne Hall (which I think is connected to the palace building but you'll have to come out of the palace building and turn left & another left to get to it) where pretty much everything "looks golden" inside and where there are portraits of the kings (with their queen consorts) in the front room and where there's a beautiful throne stage in the back room ("plenty of photo-ops" really inside the Throne Hall with all those glitters, and I was glad that photo-taking was allowed in this hall which was not the case inside the palace building). The gift shop on the palace grounds (just part of the palace building actually) also has a nice selection of souvenirs to choose from for a lasting memory of this palace. Coming by metro, Tun Sambanthan Station (on the monorail Line 8) is where to get off with a left turn on the other side of the overpass (in front of the station) followed by about a 15-minute walk to the front gate of the Palace (you'll see the palace compound wall to your right where you turn the corner to get to the front gate), then it's just about a 5-minute walk from the front gate to the palace building along the tree-lined pathway right inside the palace grounds. And after this palace, what I like to suggest is taking a taxi ride (just takes about 5 minutes & costing only like 10 ringgits) to the new Istana Negara with a grand front gate (a big "gate structure" and not just a gate like at this palace) and where you'll see a considerably bigger palace building on a lot more spacious grounds (compared to the building & grounds of this palace) when looking inside from the front gate (no entry to the palace grounds, but it was worthwhile just seeing the new palace and yes getting to take some pics with the ceremonial guards at the gate, some on horses).
