Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Gallery

Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Gallery, Royal gallery in Alor Setar, Malaysia.

The Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Gallery occupies the former Alor Setar High Court, completed in November 1922 to a Neoclassical design by architect F. W. Wade, with colonnades and a Palladian profile. A modern extension behind it copies the original exterior. Inside, more than 2,000 items are displayed, including the sultan's photographs, jewellery, official documents and equipment.

The building was completed in November 1922 as Alor Setar's High Court, designed by architect F. W. Wade with construction overseen by H. W. Fofden. It served as the High Court until June 2005, when the court moved to a new complex on Suka Menanti Street. In 2007 it was converted into a gallery at a cost of RM16 million.

The gallery honors a local ruler through royal items and documents that show the connection between the sultanate and its people. Visitors can see how the royal family exercised leadership and what role they held in the community's everyday life.

The location is within easy walking distance from the train station and accessible if you want to explore the central area. Visitors should plan for about an hour if you want to see all the rooms at a comfortable pace.

The gallery's 2007 conversion cost RM16 million and added a modern extension behind the original building that copies its Neoclassical exterior. Architect firm Rusman led the conversion, Seri Temin Development Corporation managed construction, Azam Hias handled exterior works and Syarikat Mariwasa Kraftangan managed the artifacts.
