National Museum of Myanmar

The admission fee is 10k now. One locker room for sorting your bag, and a few room prohibited the photoshoots on an piece of paper attached to the ticket also the sign at the door of each a a reminder. Loved the rich culture including the folk art, clothing and the precious display of the royal family items. A great way to get a glimpse of Myanmar and as in its history and geography. It is not as modern and advanced as the ones in those developed countries, but they have made their best efforts showcasing the country obviously.

10k MMK entry for foreigners. Had to sign a foreigner logbook before entry. With an average footfall of three (3) tourists per day, literally had the entire museum to myself. Really absurd how there are more caretakers than even local visitors. No cameras allowed to have to rely on smartphone and memory. Exhibits are mostly translated in readable English. Isn’t much spectacular here except the throne room

Surprisingly empty. No bags allowed inside but there are lockers you can rent. Phones are allowed but some areas are off limits for photography. 4 floors with 3-4 galleries per floor. It has everything from Royal Regalia and thrones to prehistoric dinosaur bones. The gallery on the major tribes that make up Myanmar was fascinating as was the music and art gallery. Well worth a visit if you are in the city. Give yourself 2-3 hours to explore.

If you are spending vacation in Yagoon and also interested in learning the culture of Myanmar, the National Museum of Myanmar should be in your to-go lists. This is the main museum of Burmese art, history and culture in Myanmar. The National Museum of Myanmar is a treasure chest of priceless stone inscriptions, documents, carvings, paintings and a host of other artifacts that testify to the ancient culture and civilization of the Myanmar people. Visiting this museum enlightens one with greater knowledge and understanding of beautiful the Myanmar nation and its people. It has an extensive collection of ancient artifacts, ornaments, work of art, inscriptions and historic memorabilia, related to history, culture and civilization of Burmese people.

Not many informative museums in Myanmar however here you can learn about the different kingdoms that defeated each other throughout the years. Different ethnic groups etc. Also a bit rustic due to the lack of tourists, audio guide is out of order. Foreigner fee 10.000MMK but worth it. Be aware some exhibitions are doctored to ignore non popular ethnic minorities

I missed a more structured history and a bit of interactivity. It feels more like a collection of artifacts than a historical museum

It's a large collection, so take your time and enjoy the culture and history of the country. Almost all artifacts have English labels, no worries on language. Only thing missing is a Cafe or something similar to rest and hydrate.

I absolutely loved this place! Unbelievably cheap at 5000 MMK for foreigners and 500 MMK for locals. Stunning things on show from original Costumes of kings and queens gone by, weapons, jewellery, beautifully carved teak cupbards and shelves, thrones, EVERYTHING GILDED in Burmese gold. Different eras in Myanmar shown through rubbings taken from stones and carvings amd payas in Shwedaggon, Mingun, Bagan, Mandalay and other famous places. Even prehistoric fossils uncovered all over Myanmar. Well worth a visit. :)
