    During my visits, there's not a lot of other visitor around. In facts I am the only visitors there. However, throughout my visit, I've learned a lot about Johor history. They explained the chronology in a very easy to understand format. All artifacts were displayed with a protective case. Enterance fee is free.

    The Kota Tinggi Museum is built in the year of 1997. It exhibits the history of Johor Sultanate. The museum is a two storey building, exhibits rare display throughout the years of the evolution of Johor. Paintings and waxes are displayed so that tourists will have a better understanding towards the place they visiting. Apart from the glorious and interesting history of Johor, the museum does highlight on the unique cultural activities such as its significant dances and architectures. There is a curator that is willing to explain and answer any questions at all regarding the tools and displays in the museum. The admission fee for the Kota Tinggi is free.

    Big space, comfort and clean surrounding, not many cultural relics but good enough for a 30-60 minutes trip. Entry and parking are free, open on Sunday. The only problem is the toilet is not easy to access, especially for elderly , disable and children.

    It's free. It's quite interesting with the paintings and English description of the historial events that took place centuries ago. Good to learn some Johorean history.

    A good place to learn about the history of the Johore Empire. The English write-ups are a bit clunky but does not distract from it's message. The museum does have a fair collection of artefacts especially old kris and weapons. Good for an hour or two. Free entry.

    The museum is looking brand new due to recent refurbishment and renovations to upkeep the look and feel. Not many on displays as yet but suffice for a 30minutes to an hour tour of Johor's history

    Not many visitors go to Kota Tinggi Museum but don’t be surprised, it is promoted to hoteliers in Desaru. Anyway, the next generation of history after the downfall of Melaka starts here. It’s fun exploring.

    Quite a lot of the exhibits have Malaysian and English information although there's a fair old bit with neither. Not a huge collection but worth a look if you're in the area. Free.
