Sarawak Textile Museum

Entrance Fee : Free Show case textile works in Sarawak. Weaving of pua kumbu by Iban maiden. Interesting to know how the ingenious people produce colours from plants.

If you are interested in Textiles, weaving and art, this is a nice place for you to visit to understand how Sarawak Textiles are evolved. Nice place with free entrance

Nothing much here. Too dark and can’t really see the exhibits clearly. Air con not cold too, kinda stuffy.

get to know the history and earn some knowledge in here. please keep it for the future generations 👌🏼🙏🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐

Free admission, worth a quick look if you're already in the area. The exhibition wasn't curated in an inspiring manner and I found the mannequins downright creepy, but you can still learn a fair bit about the textile heritage of the indigenous communities of Sarawak. (They do have some stuff on the Malay, Chinese, and Indian cultures but it was rather inadequate and perfunctory)

The textile museum showcases authentic textiles made by the main ethnic communities of Sarawak. Visitors follow an exhibition flow of how a finished product such as weaving came about. Also on display are contemporary work of designs based on traditional weaving and design techniques. Traditional costumes and fashion accessories used in ceremonies are also on display. The architecture is an attraction in itself. It is a combination of English renaissance and colonial theme. Rectangular in structure, the Pavilion Building as it is known, was first constructed in 1907 a medical center. The 3-storey building later became the headquarter of the State Education department. The museum opened n August 2005. TIP: Give yourself at least an hour to time your visit with the closing hour. Opening hour: Monday to Friday 9.00 am to 4.45 pm Saturday & Sunday 10.00 am to 4.00 pm General admission fee: Free

Don't come on the exact time of opening hours, based on my experience, it open 10 minutes late ;D

Love history? Well, i guess you would like to visit this museum. However, there are lots of mannequins with different unique clothes. But, i dont really like the lighting there and the staircase. It's because the lighting is to dim and the staircase is really old, you should be careful when going up and down the stair. I dont really think the staircase is safe for small children.
