5.  UMNO MUSEUM

We are not able to take picture in this museum because no camera are not allowed. Basically, in this museum you can see the history and the development of UMNO in Malaysia since before Independence Day. There are also souvenirs given by certain peoples being displayed in this museum.

 


6.  MUZIUM DUNIA MELAYU DUNIA ISLAM

This museum is located behind Bastion House and quite hidden because its entrance gate can't be seen easily. In this museum, they displayed the old Quran, keris, old musical instruments etc. You also can see items from Java.

As you can see from this entry, the palace displayed here can be found at Padang, indonesia. Hence, not only things in Malaysia are display here but also from Java Island.



We can only share six museums to all of you but basically there are more you will find if you come to Bandar Hilir. For example, if you climb up to St. Paul you can find another museum which is the Yang Di-Pertua museum. So enjoy your trip in Malacca!

Hollywood in Malacca

Hye everyone!

We are going to share something that might peak your interest. Everybody love Hollywood films right? So this is the best opportunity for you to see the real collections of box-office films such as Harry Potter, Ironman, Star Wars, Prince of Persia etc.

The exhibition started on May 18 and will ends on July 17 located at Bastion House in Bandar Hilir. The entrance fee for children is RM5 and adult RM10 but lucky for us we only had to pay RM2 because when we went there it was Museum's Day!

All these is a personal collection from the die-hard-fan of the films. So he/she brought these collection to share it with the public.

We were amazed to see the real sword of Optimus Prime and the mask of Ironman. Besides that there are also few magnificent drawings that truly catch our eyes. 

For example: 

We also able to meet 'Ironman' and took a picture with him. During our visit, Ironman 3 was the top 10 film at the cinema so many people want to take picture with Ironman. If you only want to take picture with him you need to pay but if you enter the exhibition, you did't need to pay.
