Pogunon Community Museum, Cultural heritage museum in Penampang District, Malaysia.
The Pogunon Community Museum is a local history museum in Penampang District that displays objects from ancient burial sites. It features clay vessels, ceramics, and other items uncovered during construction work in the area.
The museum grew out of excavations in 2000 when workers uncovered old burial sites during construction projects in the area. The finds show connections to China, as Chinese ceramics from several centuries were found alongside local objects.
The museum shows how the Dusun people buried their dead through displays of stone markers and old silver coins. These objects tell the story of how this community lived and what mattered to them.
The museum is located in Penampang District and is reachable by public transportation. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance, as museums in rural areas may not be open on a regular schedule.
The museum grounds sit on an ancient burial ground where stone monuments are still visible. These megaliths mark where the community buried their dead and create a link between what is shown in the museum and the place itself.
