Muzium Sultan Alam Shah, State museum in Shah Alam, Malaysia

Muzium Sultan Alam Shah is Selangor's state museum, a five-storey building beside Shah Alam Lake and next to the Shah Alam Library. It covers 12.95 hectares with 41,538 square metres of floor space: two office floors, three exhibition floors and the Daeng Menambun Exhibition Hall. Five galleries cover history, culture, sport, nature and Islam, plus an outdoor display area.

The Selangor state government moved to create a state museum when Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah signed Enactment No. 6 of 1975 on 27 December 1975. After years of planning, the building opened on 2 September 1989, inaugurated by the Sultan in a ceremony held with Malay traditional rites. Administration sits with the Selangor State Museums Department.

The displays feature traditional dress, crafts, and everyday objects from Bugis, Javanese, and Minangkabau communities who live in Selangor. Walking through these sections, you see how different ethnic groups shaped local customs and artistic skills that remain part of daily life today.

The museum sits beside Shah Alam Library on the edge of Shah Alam Lake, at Persiaran Bandaraya. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, and closes on Mondays. The five-storey building holds three floors of exhibition space, with the Daeng Menambun hall among the galleries.

The outdoor exhibition area holds a ferret armoured car, a radar system, aeroplanes, locomotives and cars once used by former Selangor chief ministers. The museum also keeps the 'Bot Jenderam', a boat found at Kampung Jenderam Hilir in Sepang, displayed among prehistoric and Emergency-era artefacts.
