Petroleum Museum, Petroleum industry museum on Canada Hill, Miri, Malaysia.
The Petroleum Museum displays technological developments of oil extraction through equipment, geological exhibits, and interactive presentations about drilling methods and processes.
The museum site marks the location of Malaysia's first oil well, where the Grand Old Lady drilling rig operated from 1910 until 1972.
The museum collection illustrates how oil discovery transformed Miri from a fishing village into an industrial center, changing local employment and social patterns.
Visitors can access the museum daily except Mondays from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with free admission and guided tours available in multiple languages.
An earthquake simulator and a 30-meter-tall preserved oil rig structure allow visitors to experience aspects of petroleum extraction operations.
