Darul Ridzuan Museum, British colonial museum in Ipoh, Malaysia.

The museum occupies a two-floor building with eight rooms upstairs, two rooms on the ground level, and four additional spaces in the rear section.

A tin mining magnate named Foo Choong Kit constructed this residence in 1926, which the Perak Government acquired in 1950 for administrative functions.

The exhibitions present the development of tin mining and agriculture in Perak through photographs, documents, and artifacts from British administration periods.

The museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, except on Fridays when it operates from 9:30 AM to 12:15 PM and 2:45 PM to 5:00 PM.

World War II bunkers remain intact behind the main museum structure, adding a military historical element to the 1.6-hectare property.
