Terengganu State Museum












What you see are pictures of the Terengganu State Museum.  

Acclaimed as the largest museum in South East Asia, the Terengganu State Museum Complex houses century old artefacts and artworks of rich and colourful heritage. Located on 27 hectares of land in Bukit Losong, Kuala Terengganu, the complexes itself are an impressive architectural feat, based on the designs of Terengganu’s old palace. 

It comprises a Main Museum, a Maritime Museum, a Fisheries Museum, 4 traditional houses and botanic and herb gardens. The Main Museum is built on 16 concrete stilts with galleries showcasing textiles and weaving techniques, traditional weapons, crafts, historical, royal regalia’s, nature, petroleum development, Islamic arts, new generation and contemporary arts. The other 4 blocks are adjoined, to represent a large family. At the main entrance of the main complex, lays the famous original Batu Bersurat of Terengganu. 

Visitors from hotels could contact any of the local travel agencies to arrange for a fun Kuala Terengganu Town Tour which includes visit to the State Museum. Or fancy the traditional boat cruise along the Terengganu River that also stops at the State Museum. 

Ticket fee:
Ticket counter is available at the Shahbandar Jetty opposite the General Post Office. Ticket priced at RM5.00 per person. For those wishing to drive themselves to the Museum, they have to take the route to Kampung Losong which is famous for its keropok lekor, a famous local delicacy. From there the majestic looking museum stood on top of the Bukit Losong.

By Bus
Its only a 15 minutes journey from the Bus Museum or Losong to MPKT Bus Station.

By taxi
From Kuala Terengganu Taxi Station it merely takes 10 minutes to get there.

The design of the museum is very beautiful and unique which reminds me to the tale of the legendary Malay warrior Hang Tuah.
