Sarawak State Museum, Museum in Kuching, Malaysia
The Sarawak State Museum exhibits extensive collections of natural history specimens, including local fauna and archaeological discoveries from Borneo's rainforests and rivers.
Founded in 1888 and opened in 1891, the museum survived World War II under Japanese occupation when an officer protected its collections from damage and looting.
The museum displays ethnographic artifacts representing indigenous communities like Iban and Bidayuh, featuring traditional crafts, tools, and ceremonial objects from Sarawak.
Located near Kuching Waterfront, the museum provides bilingual information in English and Malay, with affordable entrance fees and guided tours available.
The building combines European architectural elements with Queen Anne style features, incorporating rectangular structures and dormer windows for natural lighting.
