Orang Asli Crafts Museum

“I really loved this informative museum that showcases the craftsmanship of the indigenous people of Malaysia. This ranges from objects of worship, tools for daily living, to funerals. I did get to know the various tribes of indigenous people in west Malaysia. The museum exhibit is well-maintained despite lower footfall. The museum is well air-conditioned. If you're visiting Muzium Negara, you should visit this and Malay Ethnography Museum for the full experience. Take note the tickets are sold separately from the main entrance for Museum Negara. The tickets are priced at RM5 for international guests and cheaper for Local Malaysians. The tickets also give you access to the Malay World Ethnography Museum (just beside).”

“This place is lovely, so much to learn and see. The exhibits are very well maintained and the people are so kind. I would say it's almost a must see if you are in the area.”

“The Orang Asli Crafts Museum, located in Kuala Lumpur, offers a deep dive into the rich cultural heritage of Malaysia's indigenous communities. The museum is small but thoughtfully curated, showcasing a wide range of traditional crafts made by the Orang Asli, including intricate beadwork, textiles, wood carvings, and traditional tools. One of the most impressive aspects of the museum is the attention to detail in explaining the cultural significance of each item. The exhibits are accompanied by informative panels that provide context about the various Orang Asli tribes, their way of life, and how these crafts are an integral part of their cultural identity. The museum is located within the compound of the National Museum, making it an easy addition to any cultural exploration of Kuala Lumpur.”

“Great place to visit with children after Museum Negara just nearby, free entrance for Malaysian children under 12 years old and senior citizens above 65 years old, RM2 for Malaysian. Just a small area.”
