National Textiles Museum

A good knowledgeable place to learn about nation's textiles heritage and arts.

The National Textile Museum (Malay: Muzium Tekstil Negara) is a museum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The museum is open daily from 9am to 6pm, free admission. Located in the middle city of Kuala Lumpur itself. All are welcome.

Generally speaking, it is quite good to come here. I brought the children here but I can’t understand it so profound. The museum exhibits a lot of fabrics. Some really represent the characteristics of an era. It was very popular at that time, but don’t update it anymore.

In order to prevent traditional Malay clothing from being swallowed up by time while also introducing it to the current generation, the National Heritage Department stores and exhibits it at the National Textile Museum.

Malay textiles were once very famous and became one of the main trading commodities when Malacca was elevated as the most important port in the 15th century.

This museum has two National Treasures, the Celepa Diraja Terengganu (Royal Terengganu Tobacco Box) and Gending Melayu (Malay Belt Buckle), along with traditional jewelry and accessories.

A lot can be learned at this museum, especially about the rich culture that exists in Malaysia. Very interesting to visit.

In the Ratna Sari Gallery section there is an exhibition of traditional accessories used by the communities that exist in Malaysia
