3D Art Exhibition at Perak Museum, Taiping

Perak Museum held the '3D Walk Down Memory Lane' Exhibition from September 15, 2016, to September 15, 2017. This 3D graphic exhibition featured themes of community life, including prehistoric times, Malay villages, Kopitiam scenes, durian orchards, and dragon dances.

For those who love to 'selfie', this museum is a must-visit location. It is also great for visitors with school-going children, as they have the opportunity to learn various historical facts and explore the nation's heritage, culture, and natural history.

For those who are unaware, Perak Museum was built in 1883 and is the first museum in Malaysia, as well as the earliest museum built in Southeast Asia. Perak Museum is rich in ethnological, historical, natural history, archaeological, and entomological collections, some of which are classified as rare collections over a hundred years old, such as binturong and pulasan animal specimens, animal skulls and skeletons, and pottery that is now almost extinct or difficult to find.

Operating hours are daily from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. It is only closed on the first day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri & Aidiladha. Admission fees are RM2 for adults, free for children under 12 and students in school uniforms, RM1 for senior citizens and people with disabilities (OKU), and RM5 for foreigners. This 3D exhibition is held in Gallery A. Additionally, visitors can head to Gallery B for various animal skeleton collections, Gallery C for cultural exhibitions, Gallery D for the Orang Asli community exhibition and various pottery collections, and the Outdoor Exhibition which consists of various national heritage treasures such as the RMAF F-86 Avon Sabre aircraft, horse-drawn carriages, train coaches, steam power boilers, Long Jaafar cannons, Sagor boats, antique 'Rolls Royce' cars, and more. If you are visiting Taiping, don't forget that there is another equally impressive museum regarding historical value, which is the Matang Museum. Let's go!
