So I decided to drive up there one weekend, spent a night in Kangar, and visited not only the Kota Kayang Museums but also few other places in Perlis. I didn't expect to find many interesting artifacts on display in this museum but I was proven slightly wrong. There were actually quite a lot of items and the museum area was much bigger than I thought. There were three single-storey buildings for the galleries, one office building and a nice garden at the back.

This area back in the 17th century was the site of a palace called Indera Kayangan, where the royal family of Kedah resided (Perlis was once part o...

Definitely one of the most iconic buildings in the country. It has looked the same for as far as I can remember.

I went on a Saturday morning and to my surprise, there was no one at the front desk. The security guard sitting outside the building told me to just write my name in the guestbook and proceed. After writing my name, I took a quick scan of the guestbook and it seemed the museum only receives on average, 4-5 visitors per day! View of the entrance The entire museum is just about the size of an average bungalow. It was very dim inside, but comfortable for me because I like it dim. The first wall of Gallery A provides information on PJ's establishment as KL's satellite city. In Gallery A and Gallery B, there were some rare pictures of the city's roads and earliest buildings. There was also map that indicates the e...
