Beruas Museum

The Beruas Museum is a museum building in Manjung housing over 300 artifacts from archaeological excavations conducted in 1991. The collection documents findings from various historical periods and illustrates the activities of earlier inhabitants and traders in the region.

The building originally served as a courthouse from the 1920s. It was later converted into a museum and opened to the public in July 1995.

The collection shows traces of Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic traditions through porcelain and pottery from the Gangga Negara period. These objects reveal how different religions and trade cultures met and influenced each other in this region.

The museum is located on Jalan Besar in Beruas and opens daily from 10am to 5pm, though it closes for lunch on Fridays from 12:15pm to 2:45pm. Plan your visit around these hours, especially if you are coming on a Friday.

An ancient trading port lay beneath and around the museum site, where the Beruas River allowed vessels to navigate inland into Malaya. This strategic location made the spot a key point for commerce over several centuries.
