This is one of the place where you can go while in Kuching;) Good lesson of History and so many interesting things to see;) xxx

Most of the exhibits I hoped to see we're locked away while renovation was going on. I especially wanted to see the stuff "Rajah" Brooks had collected

..tremendous collections of preserved samples of animals, from birds, mammals, reptiles to fish, for display. And this was the first time I have ever seen a dinasaour's bone fossil! Not forgetting the cultural items on top floor, ritual masks, some old photos of original longhouses and its occupants. It was indeed a good exposure to Borneon culture...!

As with all the museums in Kuching it is free. Several museum to visit. The old building houses a collection of old skins and other pieces of natural history pertaining to Sarawak. Many of the bird skins were collected over 100 years ago. Interesting for a quick look around. There is also an aquarium behind the building. Across the footbridge... More

At first glance this is a dusty and somewhat old fashioned collection of stuffed animals and local crafts. However, closer inspection of the crafts reveals their intricate nature. The new wing with Chinese and Islamic pottery and furniture, as well as colonial history and the Japanese invasion is also well worth your time.

Housed in two colonial era buildings. the Sarawak museum offers many treasures, giving insight into tribal life in Sarawak. A large section of the museum is dedicated to the native fauna with an extensive display of taxidermy wildlife. A visit should not be missed while in Kuching. The museum is centrally located and entrance is free.

Unfortunately two areas were being revamped so a large amount was off view. Could they not revamp one bit at a time? What was on view was very good.

If you are into museums, then Kuching is the place to visit. There are a number of museums one can visit and all are very interesting. There is the Sarawak Museum (old and new wings), the Textile Museum, the Islamic Museum, the Cat Museum, the Chinese History Museum, the Tun Jugah MUseum along with the Timber Museum and Heroes' Museum....
