Aborigines Museum, Indigenous heritage museum in Ayer Keroh, Malaysia.
The Aborigines Museum occupies a replica of a native house built after the architecture of common indigenous dwellings in Malaysia, beside Taman Buaya along Ayer Keroh Highway. More than five galleries cover fishing methods, agricultural tools, kitchen and sleeping spaces, weapons, and the sewang ceremony of groups such as the Senoi, Jah Hut and Mah Meri.
The museum opened inside the Ayer Keroh Recreational Forest under the Forestry Department. In December 1996 it was moved beside Ayer Keroh Crocodile Farm by the Malacca Museum Corporation and reopened to the public on 3 February 1997.
The museum focuses on the daily objects of Orang Asli groups including the Senoi, Jah Hut and Mah Meri, with more than five galleries covering fishing methods, farming tools, kitchen and sleeping areas, weapons and the sewang ceremony. The building itself is a replica of a native house.
The best approach is via Lebuh Ayer Keroh road. Plan enough time to explore the different exhibition areas at a comfortable pace and examine the details of the objects on display.
The museum sits next to Ayer Keroh's Crocodile Park, and its building is a replica of a native house rather than a purpose-built gallery. Inside are more than five galleries, among them a kitchen and sleeping room and a display of the sewang ceremony.
