National Museum, He is the same Museum of Negara (Negara Museum), was founded to preserve and disseminate the national culture of Malaysia. It was created on the basis of the four museums that existed earlier. The National Museum is located on the former territory of the Museum of Selangor, who was destroyed in 1945 during World War II. In a new form, he opened his doors in 1963, six years after the independence of Malaysia.

"Gallery A" – With the exhibits of prehistoric times, starting with the Paleolithic and ending with the Neolithic (here, for example, you can see a peracical person – the oldest skeleton found in Southeast Asia, whose age is estimated at 10-11 thousand years). "Gallery B" Develops to the development of the Malay Civilization and the formation of the kingdoms in the territory of the current Malaysia. "Gallery S" Lights the colonial period in the history of the country (from 1511 to 1945).
