The National Museum of Malaysia presents the sweep of the nation's history from prehistory through the sultanates, colonial period, and independence within a building crowned by a traditional Minangkabau-style roof. Large mosaic murals flank its entrance, depicting scenes from Malaysian history and culture. Galleries display archaeological finds, royal regalia, weaponry, textiles, and dioramas of village life across the peninsula and Borneo. It offers a broad introduction to the country's ethnic and historical diversity.
