The Maritime Museum near the Bruneian capital centres on the excavated cargo of a medieval trading ship wrecked off the coast, whose recovery illuminated the sultanate's role in regional commerce. Its displays include thousands of ceramics, glass, and metal objects that reveal trade links stretching across Asia. Galleries explain the archaeology of the wreck and the wider maritime history of Borneo's waters. Located beside the river close to the national and technology museums, it deepens the picture of the country's seafaring past.
