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 formed part of the Dutch Administrative Complex during Dutch rule in Malacca, then served as a post office and from 1931 housed the Anglo-Chinese School. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad opened the Malaysia Youth Museum there on 15 April 1992.
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.
