The
evolution
and
history
of
what
is
today
famously
known
as
Royal
Selangor
is
just
some
of
the
takeaways
you
will
come
to
be
familiar
with
after
completing
the
guided
tour
at
the
Royal
Selangor
Visitor
Centre.
Tucked
away
in
the
suburbs
of
Setapak,
Kuala
Lumpur,
this
venue
effecfively
simultaneously
achieves
being
a
museum,
a
manufacturing
factory,
an
exhibition
centre
and
souvenir
shop.
The
interior
is
very
well
kept
(including
bathrooms)
and
our
guided
tour
experience
(which
I
highly
recommend)
led
by
the
impressive
Ravi
left
us
with
a
deeper
awareness
of
Royal
Selangor's
rich
history
and
a
great
deal
of
appreciation
for
the
level
of
craftsmanship
that
goes
into
their
pewter
products;
the
vast
majority
are
molded
and
created
by
hand.
Swing
by
on
weekdays
to
see
more
of
the
factory
in
action.
With
parking
fees
skyrocketing
in
shopping
malls
and
crowd
levels
returning
to
pre-pandemic
times,
the
Royal
Selangor
Visitor
Centre
is
a
fantastic
alternative
for
both
tourists
and
locals
alike.
The
guided
tour
(or
self
guided
if
you
prefer)
and
parking
is
free
and
the
cafe
inside
serves
up
good
food
at
reasonable
prices.
Growing
up
in
the
90s,
the
Royal
Selangor
brand
was
synonymous
with
pricey
goods
and
the
pride
of
the
nation.
Fast
forward
to
today
and
upon
spending
time
at
the
souvenir
shop,
you
can
definitely
find
many
practical
items
at
various
price
points.
Pop
culture
based
pewter
such
as
Marvel,
Harry
Potter,
Disney,
Star
Wars
and
others
are
definitely
worth
checking
out
while
sister
companies
Comyns
and
Selberan
cater
to
more
upscale
clientele.
As
with
most
companies,
I
can't
imagine
how
badly
Royal
Selangor
was
impacted
by
the
pandemic
and
I
hope
they're
able
to
find
their
feet
again.
With
almost
150
years
of
history
to
their
name,
I
hope
this
family
owned
business
can
still
thrive
and
uphold
their
quality
over
time.
This
visitor
center
is
a
good
way
to
showcase
the
best
of
Malaysia
and
exceeded
my
expectations.
I'd
easily
recommend
checking
out
this
place.
