Demang Abdul Ghani Gallery, Historical gallery in Merlimau, Malaysia

The wooden structure features six main sections, including a porch, veranda, main house, living room, bedroom, and kitchen with traditional architectural elements.

Built in 1894 by Abdul Ghani bin Penghulu Abdul Majid, the building served as an administrative center for three generations of village headmen until 1978.

The gallery exhibits the regional heritage through its construction methods, utilizing high-quality Merbau and Cengal woods without any nails in the assembly process.

Located at Jalan Masjid Jamek Merlimau, the gallery welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM with entry fees of RM3.

Two decorative water tanks with pumpkin and pineapple designs stand at the entrance, where visitors traditionally cleaned their feet before entering the house.
