Malaysia Youth Museum, Youth museum in Malacca, Malaysia.
The Malaysia Youth Museum occupies a former postal building and displays multiple sections about young people's roles throughout Malaysian history. Its collections include objects, photographs, and video presentations showing how youth lived and participated in society across different eras.
The building was originally the main post office and was later transformed into a youth museum. Its opening in 1992 marked the first dedicated space in Malaysia for documenting young people's historical roles.
The museum shows how young people shaped Malaysia across different time periods. The displays give visitors a sense of how youth lived and contributed to society at those moments.
The museum sits on Jalan Laksamana and welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday. Regular workshops allow both student groups and individual visitors to engage more deeply with the exhibitions.
The museum also serves as an art gallery, displaying works by Malaysian artists in the same building. This double role creates an unusual space where youth heritage and contemporary art coexist.
