People's Museum

People's Museum, Cultural museum in Malacca City, Malaysia.

The People's Museum occupies the ground floor of the former Historical City of Malacca Municipal Council building, constructed in the 1960s and believed to stand on the ruins of a Dutch building. Its displays are grouped into three parts: the Sports Gallery, the Community Gallery and a UNESCO section. The Beauty Museum and Kite Museum occupy the upper floors.

The museum was established in 1992 as a center to document the development achievements of Melaka. It emerged from the effort to preserve the modern history and social progress of the region and make it accessible to future generations.

The museum's name, Muzium Rakyat, means "People's Museum", and its galleries trace how ordinary residents and the state government together developed Melaka in administration, housing, industry, tourism, infrastructure and agriculture. A section called Pameran Melaka Sedekad records the state's progress over a decade. The building previously housed the Melaka Historic City Municipal Council before PERZIM took it over.

The building is spread across multiple floors, allowing visitors to explore the different exhibitions gradually. Access to all areas is straightforward, and there is ample space to walk through and linger in each exhibition area.

In the outdoor area, visitors can see a rare aircraft from the first Royal Malayan Airforce and a 1965 Japanese-made locomotive. These historical vehicles come from different periods of Malaysian infrastructure development and are rarely gathered in one location.
