National Textile Museum Malaysia

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Greetings from the National Textile Museum, the latest museum and newest tourist attraction in the city of Kuala Lumpur. The Museum housed in a 114 years old heritage building is located in the historic belt of Kuala Lumpur, flanked by the Sultan Abdul Samad building and the Dayabumi building, is diagonally across the Royal Selangor Club and Dataran Merdeka.

The building is a 2 1/2 storied structure with an area of 3259 m2 and a floor area of 3145.3 m2. It was conserved and refurbished in late 2008 and eventually opened to the public on 9 January 2010. The National Textile Museum showcases a collection of rare and exquisite textiles of the multi-ethnic communities of Malaysia. There is also a fabulous display of gold ornaments and accessories in one of the four galleries found in this museum. Other facilities available here are the Museum Shop, Cafe and a Resource Centre. The National Textile Museum is open daily from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Entrance is free.

Thanks and warmest regards,

Janet Tee Siew Mooi
