Labuan Museum

Labuan Museum, Colonial era museum in Labuan, Malaysia

Labuan Museum is a two-floor colonial building situated in the town center, displaying exhibits that tell the story of the region's past and people. The collections feature artifacts, traditional garments, musical instruments, historical photographs, and archaeological finds spread across both levels.

Built in the 1950s, the structure served as the British North Borneo government office before being repurposed as the Labuan district office after 1963. It was later converted into a museum to preserve local heritage.

The upper floor covers the culture and economy of Labuan's people in six sections, with artifacts such as musical instruments, weapons and clothes. The museum opened on 8 October 2004, when Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Rais Yatim officiated at the ceremony.

The museum occupies a two-storey colonial building on Jalan Dewan in central Labuan town. The ground floor traces the island's history from prehistory to the federal territory and offshore financial centre; the upper floor covers culture and economy in six sections. Restoration began in 1997, interior works followed in 2002, and the museum opened on 8 October 2004.

The upper floor is divided into six sections covering the culture and economy of Labuan's people, with musical instruments, weapons and clothing among the artefacts. The building itself is a two-storey colonial structure from the 1950s that once housed the British North Borneo government's administration office.
