Lukut Fort and Museum, Historical fort and museum complex in Port Dickson, Malaysia.

The museum occupies a two-story building at the base of Bukit Gajah Mati hill, displaying artifacts from the 19th-century tin mining period.

Raja Jumaat constructed the fort in 1847 to control tin trade, featuring 5-meter deep moats with sharpened bamboo stakes to protect against attackers.

The museum galleries present traditional Malaysian arts, medicine practices, carpentry tools, musical instruments, and local games through extensive collections.

Visitors can access the museum daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM without entrance fees, with facilities including guided tours and parking spaces.

The site preserves bronze cannons recovered from the Dutch VOC warship Nassau, which sank during the 1606 Battle of Cape Rachado.
