People's Museum, Cultural museum in Malacca City, Malaysia.
The People's Museum occupies the ground floor of a former Municipal Council building and contains three main sections focusing on sports, community, and UNESCO initiatives.
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad inaugurated the People's Museum on April 15, 1992, establishing it as a center for documenting Malacca's development achievements.
The museum presents exhibits about Malaysian ethnic groups through traditional customs, crafts, and artistic practices, including sections on batik making and wood carving.
Multiple mini-museums spread across different levels allow visitors to explore various aspects of Malaysian heritage within the same building complex.
The outdoor transportation area displays the first Royal Malayan Airforce aircraft, a 1965 Japanese diesel locomotive, and a vintage fire engine.
