National Textile Museum

Unclaimed

I was really just visiting to keep my wife company, as I have little interest in textiles. However, I’ve got to say there are many beautiful fabrics to see here. The information is also very educational. A vast place and well worth seeing, as I now know. Reasonable entry costs as well at only 5 Ringgit.

This museum focuses on the various textile craftsmanship practices in Malaysia. There are 4 main exhibition halls (permanent exhibitions) divided into 4 sections (Malay, other ethnicity groups, etc). Some of the exhibition halls are stuffy with no air-conditioning. There's also a new exhibition space that hosts various temporary exhibitions. There are no gift shops here. Tickets costs RM5.00 for international visitors and cheaper for Malaysians. A good place to visit if you're into cultures.

I’ve always wanted to visit this museum and finally had the chance today! It was a decent experience, worth spending about 30 minutes exploring. The entrance fee is RM2 for Malaysian adults and RM5 for non-Malaysian adults, while children under six can enter for free.

Steps away from the River of Life, this is a lovely museum where one can see beautiful creations, and their history. Depending on your pace. It’s either 40 minutes or a little over an hour. It’s a great place to stay cool and see many beautiful fabrics

An interesting museum displaying over 4 different exhibitions over 2 floors. A great way to learn about the history of the textile world across the different cultures in Malaysia. RM 5 per ticket for foreign visitors. Worth having a quick gander before or after visiting Independence Square or the “I love KL” sign. Not all the rooms have air conditioning.
