Bujang Valley Archaeology Museum, Archaeological museum in Kuala Muda, Malaysia.

The museum exhibits collections and ruins from a civilization that inhabited the Bujang Valley between the 3rd and 14th centuries AD.

Colonel James Low initiated excavations in 1864, followed by H.G. Quaritch Wales and his wife who documented 30 temple sites between 1936 and 1939.

The collection includes stone caskets, tablets, metal tools, ornaments, ceramics, statues, and jewelry that illustrate Hindu-Buddhist influences in ancient Malaysia.

Located between Mount Jerai and Muda River, the museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, except during the first two days of Hari Raya.

The museum grounds feature reconstructed temple structures, including the eight-sided Candi Pengkalan Bujang, which forms the foundation of an ancient stupa.
