Malay Technology Museum

The Malay Technology Museum is a place to explore traditional technologies and craft techniques from Brunei's past, with three exhibition halls. The spaces showcase traditional house architecture, craft techniques from water villages, and inland technologies from earlier generations.

The museum was founded in 1988 and has since shaped understanding of traditional technologies in Brunei. It was built to document and preserve the craft practices and technological knowledge of earlier generations.

The exhibitions show traditional tools and craft techniques that reflect the daily life of different ethnic groups in Brunei. Visitors can see how people once lived and worked through objects and demonstrations that explain these ways of life.

The museum sits on Kota Batu Road and is open daily to visitors, with free entry available. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time to explore the three exhibition halls thoroughly.

The museum holds an extensive collection of traditional fishing methods and tools from the water villages of Kampong Ayer. These items show how people once lived in and around water and made use of their resources.
