Royal Malaysia Police Museum, History museum in Bukit Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Royal Malaysia Police Museum is a history museum in Kuala Lumpur devoted to the development of policing. It displays uniforms, weapons, equipment, and documents from various periods of Malaysian law enforcement, complemented by reconstructed scenes from daily life across different eras.
The museum was established in 1958 and opened in 1961, then relocated to its present location in 1998. This move to a new building marked an important turning point in how police history is presented to the public.
The place shows how law enforcement has shifted its role in society across centuries, from early sultanates to modern times. Visitors can see how uniforms, equipment, and methods evolved and what influence different rulers had on the shape of order.
The museum stands on Jalan Perdana, between Masjid Negara and Taman Tasik Perdana, a short walk west of Kuala Lumpur railway station. It opens daily except Monday, from 10:00 to 18:00, with no midday break. Admission is free.
Beyond standard collections, the museum displays weapons seized from criminal organizations. In the outdoor area, visitors can see armored vehicles and military equipment that otherwise remain hidden from public view.
