    Was very neat to visit and learn about the history of the Sultan there. You could also see gifts from ambassadors of many countries. There were barely any people so very easy to visit. And no fee. Just take your shoes off before and put your bag in a locker. Pictures are allowed in the main area but not inside.

    Nice museum with an eclectic collection of presents to the Sultan of Brunei, from heads of states, ministers and others representatives. You have to take off your shoes before entering and the entrance fee for foreigners is $5. Unfortunately some sections have such a cold floor that I couldn't visit them even with socks. So take sockets, maybe an extra pair. And you need to lock any bags in the lockers, provided for free. Pictures can be taken, but not video.

    A must visit place in Bandar Seri Begawan. Must remove shoes before entering. Lockers are provided upon entry. A nice way to spend an afternoon. An hour is not enough to explore the exhibits. Gives you a brief idea about the sultan's royal life and his coronation. Taking photograph is not allowed on some gallery due to security reasons. Very nice and helpful staffs.

    This is the most famous museum of Brunei I have read many reviews saying the museum is very small and only takes 1 hour to visit. However not so, the museum has a lot of articles about the king, the palace and the history of this country, if you really enjoy reading you will know a lot more about this country. It took me 3 hours trying to read it all but couldn't make it in time and I really want to come back here.

    The museum of the King of Brunei's background. Very well maintained and the details of each compartment are very well explained. There are some parts of the museum where the photos are not allowed to be taken and there will be a guard to monitor. So please be aware and mindful.

    A good place to have a nice idea about Belait heritage and culture with it is located at former district officer house. The problem is the location is a little bit hidden from the town center, and the sign board are small and no direction that shows where the museum located.

    A nice museum. Go there on a rainy day and enjoy the gallery of both presents for the Sultan and the view of how the Sultan has been celebrated. There are areas that is far too cold in here - wear some socks or have them with you as you feet will be freezing if you do not. The building needs to maintenance as water is leaking in a few places.

    Magnificent showroom. Great to view the many gifts from visiting Kings/ heads of states/ government representatives. Got to see the magnificent event, The Silver Jubliee, shown over the big screen. Got to witness the replica of the chariot used for the event and the army personnel involved.

    Royal Regalia Museum, located at the centre of Bandar Seri Begawan, is dedicated to the Sultan of Brunei. It depicts the life of the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and the history of his rule. Royal Regalia Museum is an important museum in regard to the history of Brunei and has many exhibitions featuring how the royals work and rule including the replica of Sultan’s silver jubilee celebration chariot. It is home to some of the most valuable items of the royal family as well. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Visitors have to remove the shoes before entering the museum. One can get slippers from the front reception. Bags are not allowed inside the museum; they must keep it in a locker room. No photography is allowed inside the museum. Visitors can only take pictures in the front hall of the museum, in rest of the area, photography is strictly prohibited. Entry inside the museum is not allowed after 4:30 PM. Visitors will be required to sign their names and nationalities on the reception desk, so carry passports as the reception desk may ask for them to verify the details provided.

    Previously an aquarium, the building now hosts artifacts that tell the history of Brunei and also gifts from other countries. Before entering, you need to remove your shoes and place them on the shoe rack. You will also need to keep your bag in a locker. A key will be provided when purchasing tickets. The gifts are very fascinating and showcase each country's specialties and their relationship with Brunei.

    Our taxi driver suggested visiting the museum, so he took us there. You have to leave your shoes outside on a shelf, wear socks if you don't want to walk barefoot. It was 5 Brunei dollars each. They give you a key to a locker to put your bag in and return the key when you are leaving. You are allowed to take photos, but no videos. The section with the replica of the throne no photos allowed, it is guarded by army officers. It is a fascinating insight to the Sultans life and his years studying at Sandhurst Military Academy up in the UK and travelling around the world. There are lots of gifts given to him by other countries which are fascinating. The museum is very clean, worth a visit. It wasn't busy when we went, there is a car park opposite if you are driving, not expensive to park.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the most interesting and enjoyable museums I've had the pleasure of exploring. Entrance is free (as seems to be the norm in Brunei), and you can wear whatever clothing you would like, though of course be respectful. The staff working here are also very friendly and seem to really enjoy seeing foreign tourists experiencing the museum. Unfortunately, as is also the norm in Brunei, you must leave all your bags and cameras/phones at the front - lockers are free and you can carry the key with you as you explore the museum, but this means that you can't take any photos around the museum, which is a real shame because of how extremely beautiful it is! This museum focuses on the history of the sultans of Brunei, as well as the incredible gifts that foreign countries have given to the sultan. It is, in a word, incredible! There is also a respectable gift shop and mostly clean bathrooms. Some things to note: they begin closing some parts of the museum about 30 minutes before official closing time, so make sure you come early. Shoes must be left at the front door, but no worries as this is very customary in Brunei. Last but not least, you may take photos around the central area - just not beyond the central area.

    It's like a super huge gallery of the personal collection of the sultan with his introduction, pictures and quotes. Entry is free, stuffs are fascinating. Just a few visitors, and even less foreigners. The staff must be very happy working there as they laughed all afternoon very loudly, which was a bit disturbing.

    A massive collection that is worth checking out for only B$5. It gives you insight into the current sultan's rise to power with a wide array of artifacts and gifts received from foreign and domestic leaders ranging from his 1967 coronation to today. Though I truly loved that East Timor was like "here's a stuffed animal and a bag of coffee." LOL

    Note that the museum is closed on Friday. Before entering the main door you have to remove your shoes and then head up to get tickets ($5) foreigners. They will provide you with a locker as only cells are allowed. The museum is bigger than I expected and portraits the life of the sultan and Brunei. Very interesting! Highly recommended

    The Royal Regalia Museum (Malay: Muzium Alat Kebesaran Diraja), previously known as the Royal Regalia Building (Malay: Bangunan Alat Kebesaran Diraja),[1] is a museum located in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. It mainly houses the regalia of the Sultan and the royalty, as well as exhibits related to the commemorations of the Silver and Golden Jubilee celebrations of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's rule of Brunei. It was officially opened on 30 September 1992 by the Sultan himself. The building, was originally called "Churchill's Memorial Building", which had been established by the Sultan Omar Ali Saiffudien III, that present the Sultan's father, as he admired Winston Churchill,it was replaced in the late 1992 by the Royal Regalia Exhibition Hall.[2] It was established to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty's coronation as Brunei's 29th king.[3] A historical review of the present Sultan's life is narrated through family pictures with detailed narrative texts in which he is highlighted through many of his portraits and a hologram. On 2 December 2017, the building has been renamed to the Royal Regalia Museum, in conjunction with the Golden Jubilee Celebration of His Majesty's ascension to the throne. The museum building is a large gold-domed structure which is fitted with specially-designed mosaics.[2] It has a semi-circular plan and is covered with plush carpets. Marble has been used extensively in its interior.[5] The main display at the entrance hall is a huge chariot used for the parade carrying the Sultan through the streets of the city on the occasion of his 1992 silver jubilee celebration. A bevy of headless mannequins dressed in traditional attire are displayed in front of the chariot. There is also a second chariot which was used during the 1968 coronation and also during the 1972 Queen's visit to Brunei. Exhibits include the artifacts that were used for royal ceremonies in the country, the gold and silver ceremonial weaponry, crowns embedded with jewels, and other paraphernalia that formed part of the coronation ceremonies, and ceremonial costumes.[7][6] A particular photograph of interest shows the Sultan smiling at his circumcision ceremony. There is an exhibit of a golden hand and forearm that the Sultan used as a prop for his chin at his coronation and an ornate crown, as well as exhibits of "documents and treaties" in the Constitutional Gallery.

    (Translated by Google) Brunei This is a museum that also displays regalia of successive kings and jewelery presented by the world's kingdoms. The large exhibition space on the first floor of the building has road equipment, flags and decorations that are thought to be used for domestic events. Goods were exhibited and photography was OK. You can leave your shoes in the exhibition hall on the 2nd floor. You can see the history of Brunei with the footsteps of successive kings displayed with old photographs. I looked around with interest from gifts from the world's kingdoms. There were things that looked gorgeous and things that seemed like this. There was a strange person standing in the hall, so when I asked about the location of the toilet, they kindly guided me and felt friendly. Only in a rich country, admission to this museum was free. ¡ (Original) ブルネイ国 歴代国王のレガリアと 世界の王国より贈られた宝飾品も合わせて展示されている ミュージアムです。 館内1階の広い展示場には 国内行事に使用されると思われる道具備品,旗,装飾品等が展示されており 写真撮影はOKでした。 2階の展示場へは靴を預けての入場です 歴代国王の足跡などが古い写真を交え展示されておりブルネイの歴史が伝わってきます。 世界の王国各国よりの贈り物には興味を持って見て回りました 豪華そうに見える物から エッ こんなものがと思える物まで有りました。 館内には 兵士?が立ち異様さを感じましたので トイレの場所を聞くと 親切に案内してくれ フレンドリーさを感じました。 お金持ちの国でけに このミュージアムへの入場料は無料でした。

    Huge Museum with many of the gifts to the Sultan, weapons and clothes. Also two very impressive state carriages used at different ceremonies are on display. The entrance is free. Shoes must be left outside - shoe-shelves are available. Proper attire is essential to enter. Cameras and mobile phones must be left by the entrance. locker-boxes and coat/bag check are also available. There is also a small gift-shop. The staff of the museum is more or less friendly. The museum is sort of a shrine for the emperor and his family. The wealth and the number of objects on display are impressive. Its pretty cold (AC) inside - you may want to bring a jacket or light sweater.

    A great exhibition of many of the royal treasures of the Sultan. Definitely a must visit when in Brunei Photos are only allowed in the lobby area, and not in the galleries at the back. If you are unsure, ask a helpful member of staff. Entrance is free of charge, however you must register at the reception area. Shoes are not allowed inside, there is a storage rack outside.

    Nice museum with interesting exhibits. Unfortunately, almost everything is about Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and one learns little about the country of Brunei Darussalam. Still worth a visit. The entrance is free. However, if you get cold quickly, you should take a sweater with you. The air conditioners are set very cold.

    The Royal Regalia Museum is a must-see for anyone visiting Bandar Seri Begawan. The museum houses a fascinating collection of artifacts and exhibits that showcase the history and heritage of the Brunei monarchy. The building itself is a beautiful example of Islamic architecture, and the exhibits are well-maintained and informative. I was particularly impressed by the collection of royal regalia, which includes everything from ceremonial robes to jeweled swords. The museum also has a number of interactive exhibits that are perfect for children. I highly recommend the Royal Regalia Museum to anyone interested in learning more about Brunei's rich history.

    It's an okay place to visit close to Radisson hotel and in the downtown area. To be honest the gifts from the other nations weren't too interesting, but this place is still worth a visit given that there aren't that many attractions in the city in the first place. Staff were really friendly and smile every time you pass by, which is rare in many museums and very much appreciated.

    蘇丹紀念館是配合現任蘇丹登基所建立的,陳列汶萊歷史古蹟文物及皇后、王妃在慶典中穿著衣飾及寶石皇冠、御用馬車以及加冕時遊行的熱鬧場面。紀念館冇2200個房間,是穌丹用來招待賓客的地方。可說是世界上最大的私人住宅。 入館需要脫鞋,包包需要寄放寄物櫃攝影機、相機不能帶進去,可以帶手機。二樓展示加冕的實際陳設不能拍照。 很寧靜,可以慢慢欣賞陳列展示。

    A very extensive exhibition. there was no queue to enter. A large bag and camera must be stowed away in the free locker near the entrance. No photography with a camera aare allowed, but with the handphone is allowed. Some exhibitions have little explanation. It is best to visit during noon time to avoid the sun

    I recently visited the museum and had a positive experience. There are a few rules to follow: shoes must be left in a designated drawer or locker, and bags should be stored in another locker secured with a key provided by the staff. The entry ticket costs 5 Brunei Dollars, and the tour typically takes around 2 hours. I purchased an audio guide for 12 Brunei Dollars, which was available in English and covered about half of the exhibition spots. Despite the audio guide not covering all areas, informative descriptions were available throughout the museum. The museum provides extensive information about the royal family, making it a worthwhile visit.

    The only museum I have visited where you have to take your shoes off to enter. It is also one of the only visitor attractions in Brunei you have to pay to enter. You have to have 5 Brunei Dollars in cash, cards not accepted. However, the museum inside is a very impressive and calm environment. Museum is dedicated to Sultan of Brunei and has carriages from ceremonies and lots of the gifts he has received. I believe that you used to be unable to take photos inside, but now phone photos are permitted. Overall a nice museum and worth a visit.

    A beautiful & thoughtful dedication to the Sultan of Brunei. The museum is full of gifts & other mementos given to the Sultan. Lots of interesting items perfectly on display to view. Many rooms & areas to explore. Museum is spotlessly clean & employees are smiling & kind. 1 hour minimum. 5 BND entrance, shoes are to be left outside, bags & belongings stowed in lockers. Last entrance at 4.30p. This beautifully domed museum is not to be missed.

    The Royal Regalia Museum is hands down one of the best places to dive into the rich history of Brunei, especially its Sultan and royal family. If you're interested in learning more about the monarchy, the museum is a must-visit. The entrance fee is very reasonable—5 BND for adults and 2 BND for kids—and it’s absolutely worth it considering how much you’ll get to learn. The museum showcases a fascinating collection of royal artifacts, souvenirs from various countries, and important regalia that reflect the cultural and historical significance of Brunei's monarchy. You’ll find everything from the Sultan's royal attire to gifts from world leaders, all beautifully displayed with informative descriptions. The museum is well-organized, and the exhibits are very informative, giving you an insight into Brunei's royal traditions, the Sultan's reign, and his family’s role in shaping the country’s modern history. I highly recommend visiting if you're keen on learning about Brunei’s past, culture, and the royal family’s influence. It’s a wonderful educational experience and a fantastic way to understand the pride and history of this beautiful country.

    The museum mainly contains exhibitions of the military and foreign gifts received from other government. If you take your time to read most of the description, you should be taking around 1 hour.

    The good thing is that is free. You need to take your shoes off so bring socks or as many people did, the sleepers of your hotel as you need to walk over carpets and marble. They dont allow you to bring anything in. We had a small bag only with the passports and wallets and they didn’t allow us to bring it. The museum holds royal regalia: a couple of carriages, costumes, thrones, presents from other kings...This is the main museum in the country.

    Datang ke sini tahun 2019.. Lokasinya di tengah kota. Waktu itu setelah ke Bandarku Ceria (semacam car free day), aku jalan kaki ke museum ini. Untuk masuknya gratis, tapi tidak boleh mengambil gambar atau video saat berada di dalam museum, tapi kalau di depan boleh. Jadi begitu masuk, kalian titip barang di loker yang disediakan. Isinya ada senjata, baju tradisional, sejarah, dan masih banyak lagi. Penasaran kan? Makanya,,, buat kalian yang suka dengan Museum, wajib banget datang ke sini.
