Education Museum, Educational history museum in Malacca, Malaysia.
The Education Museum occupies a building erected in 1884 in Malacca City, combining British, Dutch, Moorish and Anglo-Chinese architectural elements. Its windows follow Dutch design without wind holes, built with British bricks and materials, under an Indian double-layered roof with tiles. The exhibits trace the state's education system from the Malacca Sultanate through British Malaya and the Japanese occupation to the present.
The building was erected in 1884 under British Malaya and housed Malacca High School from 1931 until growing enrolment forced the school to move to Chan Koon Cheng Street. The Malacca Labour and Audit Department then occupied it until 1978, after which it stood vacant. Renovated in 2003, it was proposed by the Malacca Museum Corporation as a museum of education because of its school past.
