Memorial Tun Abdul Razak, History museum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Memorial Tun Abdul Razak is a history museum in the Lake Gardens area that displays more than 650 objects including personal items, photographs, and documents. The collection spans different periods in the life and work of Malaysia's second Prime Minister.
The building served as Tun Abdul Razak's residence from 1962 until 1976, then was converted into a memorial museum in 1982. This transformation turned a private space into a public place for preserving memory.
The displays show how Tun Abdul Razak shaped Malaysia's development through his work in defense, social reform, and diplomacy. Visitors can see the breadth of his influence across different areas of national importance.
The memorial is split into two exhibition sections: about 650 items in the Sri Taman building and about 1,580 items covering his years as minister and prime minister. A library, a research room and a souvenir shop are available for visitors, and a FELDA house is displayed outside.
Outside the main building stands a sample FELDA house, showing the rural resettlement homes built under Tun Abdul Razak's development policies. The memorial also holds a library and research room for those studying his papers.
