Customs Museum was established on August 25 2006. It was launched by Malacca Chief Minister, YAB Datuk Wira Mohd Ali bin Rustam. It is located at in front of the Malacca River​ Cruise Terminal at Jala​n Merdeka, Banda Hilir. The main objective of this museum is to provide information about the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD) roles.





While the museum façade looks uninteresting and in turn keeps its visitor's expectation low, it actually is a humble exhibition that might surprise the visitors.



There is a wealth of interesting items on display. These include uniforms through the ages, old and modern equipment used by the Department and historic photos of Customs Department employees in offices around Malaysia.



Also on display are other seized items such as protected wildlife products (deer antlers, turtle shells for example), illegal firearms and sharp weapons, obscene sculptures and motorcycles without approval permits.



Well worth visiting, especially if you are visiting the Maritime Museum which is located just right next door. Admission is free and you should not miss this place.
