Perak State Museum, Heritage museum in Taiping, Malaysia
The Perak State Museum occupies a Neo-classical building at the junction of Jalan Muzium and Jalan Taming Sari, featuring four distinct exhibition galleries.
Founded in 1883 by British Resident Sir Hugh Low, the museum started in renovated government offices before moving to its permanent building in 1886.
The Cultural Gallery presents Malaysian handicrafts and traditional wedding costumes from Malay, Indian, and Chinese ceremonies through detailed mannequin displays.
The museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with admission prices of RM 2 for Malaysian adults and RM 5 for international visitors.
The outdoor section displays a 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, a 1930s Bedford Lorry ambulance, and a 19th-century steam engine from tin mining operations.
