Kelantan Museum, National historic building and museum in Kota Bharu, Malaysia.
The Kelantan Museum is housed in a converted administrative building with exhibition rooms spread across multiple floors in central Kota Bharu. Its collections contain regional artifacts, handcrafted objects, and historical items that document the development of local society.
The museum was established in 1990 after the original administrative building underwent major renovation. Modifications around 1988 included adding a partial floor level to create additional exhibition space.
The exhibitions feature traditional crafts and art forms that locals have maintained for generations. These objects reveal how people here have valued and passed down their cultural practices over time.
The museum is centrally located in Kota Bharu and easily accessible by local transportation. Visitors should allow several hours to explore the exhibitions spread across the different floors.
The building was originally an administrative seat but was fundamentally repurposed to serve its current function. This transformation shows how historical structures in the region were adapted to new purposes.
