    The best one stop center to explore and learn the history and multiple culture of Sibu town. A gift shop is available at the same building for you to bring some sweet memories back home.

    It has a new cafeteria opened up recently, which brought up the popularity of this area. They have decent golo mee and curry mee there, but the stall only opens in the morning. The atmosphere there was surprisingly good, the fans were enough to cool down the place. Recommended for travellers to have a quick breakfast after visiting the museum.

    The heritage center houses several gift & souvenir shops, and on the upper floor is the town's museum, dedicated to the culture & history of Sibu. Free of charge, it is worth visiting since many of the exhibits can be viewed very, very close.

    Lovely design for a heritage centre - unfortunately closed during the time of visit, apparently for an extended period of time.

    Not a very busy museum but a lot of open displays. They do close for lunch (despite posted business hours). Very interesting history and exhibits.

    The museum or any display on history are no longer in existence. The first floor is all locked and abandoned. The ground floor has a store selling borneo ethnic products from t shirts, fridge magnets, clothing accessories and such.

    1st time been Sibu. Is really a small Township, not much tourist spot for tourists to visit. But we can have a great meal at Cafe Cafe, Walk around at Pasar Malam Sibu and it was awesome that this pasar Malam operate in daily basis info by local people that we was meet. The airport is small only 2 waiting Hall, and this airport served only domestic flights and I believe not more than 50 flights in a day. The hotel [win hotel] is brand new and it is very clean and the most important is cheap....

    this place located in the centre of town and near with other landmarks like tun tuanku bujang square, wisma sanyan and teng tua pek kok temple. at this place, there handicraft centre was located in ground beloe. but you need to come early because it closed at 3 p.m. at the upper level, there are sibu cultural museum which closed at 5.00 pm.you may enter the museum without pay anything. it provides useful information about sibu history as well as all ethnic and race that stay at sibu. it suits for traveller that likes a historical info and want to buy a handicraft.

  • 5/5 Ngmkien 7 months ago on Google • 116 reviews
    At first I though is the place selling souvenirs. After moving around then realized is a museum. After visiting the museum just wondering why it is not many visitors. It is FREE entry. It’s just take about 1-3 hrs - depending on how detailed you want to know Very informative for Sibu history, culture etc So, is highly recommended place to visit, try not to miss if you are visiting Sibu

    A small museum displaying history and heritage culture of Sibu. Visit is free. Visitors not allowed to take pictures or video inside the museum.

    A good place to gain history knowledge about Sibu from earlier settlers until formation of Malaysia. One downside is the staffs are not attending and not friendly. Basically we just do our own reading and roam freely. No photos/video allowed
