    in the last week

    This is a must do. The museum tour was great. The walk through watching people working the pewter was very informative. Also did the foundry which was amazing working with the pewter. Spent over 4 hours here but could be done quicker lunch at Cafe was delicious.

    What a Hidden gem in KL! I knew this place through a foreign tourist recently and I guess many of us (locals) dont even know this place! Highly recommended, friendly and patient guide will give a 30-45 mins explanation on the history of Royal Selangor, and it is free of charge. After visit, you can relax and have coffee/ cakes and the cafe, the price is very affordable compare to standard cafes with good quality / serviced provided.

    Tour working pewter shop and see history of pewter production in Malaysia. They have a 'Make your own bowl' pewter crafting experience. The Cafe is quite nice and you can find nice pewter craft gifts in the factory shop. I'm not clear how many people really want $1000 handcrafted statues of Thor or Batman, but they also have quite nice selection of functional gifts like decorative decanters, glasses, tea sets.

    A very impressive visitor centre. It should be called a museum! And it's got a great cafe, not to mention a shopping gallery with all Royal Selangor items. I highly recommend it to everybody, both tourists and KL natives alike.

    A lovely experience! They have their guided tours that are free but they also have two options for paid workshops. We did The School of Hard Knocks(RM75 per person) in which you make a small bowl and this is something even children can do. The Foundry workshop is for those 15 and up and you'll create a more intricate item.
