Introduction
The museum traces the history of architecture in Malaysia from its early beginnings right up to the modern hi-tech skyscrapers of today. It describes how the infusion of Chinese, Indian, Arab and European influences have helped create some of the country’s most unique styles and designs.
What to Expect?
After the independence of Malaya in 1957, the building became the office of Melaka Water Board. In 2000, the building was restored to its original shape by the department of Museum and Antiquities. The museum was opened in 2004 and it is administered under the Antiquity and Museum Association.

3 weeks agoRM5 per person for entry. Just two floors so a little boring. But it’s a good place to rest and get cool when you are so tired after walking so long.

4 weeks agoVisited the museum, it was one of if not the best Museums in the area about architecture, a lot of detailed models of known historical locations around Malaysia.
It is a must visit place for those who are passionate about architecture and building styles. It is only 2 bucks a person, so it is a steal. -

3 months agoI spend around 30 minutes in the museum. The information is clearly conveyed (also in English) with interesting models and pictures. The different cultural influences on Malay architecture and meaning behind designs are explained, too.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I only had to pay 2 RM entry. (Would have paid 5 RM, too, it’s really worth it!) -
