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
While other museums are closed down for renovation (understandable), but this one museum keep opened. Still provide a really good insight of Sarawak traditions from the use of attires worn, and it is enough to introduce what is Sarawak to the public.
Don't come on the exact time of opening hours, based on my experience, it open 10 minutes late ;D
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
