Ghost Museum Melaka

Museum

👍 It’s a fairly small museum with a few different rooms, and each room showcases ghosts from different cultures. The displays are actually quite nicely build and you can have fun taking photos. On busy days, I can imagine you would be spending quite some time in queues and you might end up spending an...

Malaysia Prison Museum

Museum

😐 RM6 for adult foreigners. There are so many exhibition rooms but most are filled with texts and pictures not exhibits. Too informative in a way that lacks story-telling and museum experience. That said, the visit was still meaningful as the real prison rooms and special exhibits were giving quite s...

Museum of Royal Malaysian Customs Department

Museum

👍👍 We spontaneously visited this museum and were pleasantly surprised to hear there's no entrance fee. With that in mind, we also didn't expect the museum to be fairly big and well displayed. It offers a mix of the history and former tools of the custom department. And it shows confiscated items such...

Kopijail

Cafe

👍👍 Satu konsep cafe yang kreatif. Lepas penat melawat muzium penjara, boleh singgah sini untuk hilangkan dahaga. Air kopi dikaitkan dengan nama hukuman penjara memang kreatif. Rasa kopi pon boleh tahan dan air strawberry pon sedap. Harga berbaloi dengan air. Cafe bersih dan santai. Selain air boleh jug...

Hang Jebat Mausoleum

Historical landmark

😐 Visited in Feb. The Hang Jebat Mausoleum is the tomb of Hang Jebat, the legendary Malaccan and friend of the equally famed Hang Tuah. While loyal to his friend, Hang Jebat is equally well known for rebelling against the sultan and as the story goes, went on a rampage. I can’t speak about the veraci...

The Malay and Islamic World Museum

Museum

😠 On the way here, You can see the white horse tied to the carriage. The line on which the horse is tied is too short… I don't think the horse can eat anything. The view is also blocked, so the horse just stands facing forward in the hot sun…I have no complaints about the museum itself.
