This small museum is well worth a visit - you can pop in from your stroll along the waterfront and spend twenty minutes learning about the various Chinese populations in Sarawak, their history, culture and traditions. The displays are very informative and well presented. In fact, I much preferred this to the main Sarawak museum.

Nice little museum by the river. Compact with a nice display of the early Chinese in Sarawak. Some family histories and a nice explanation of some of the holidays. A few artifacts and photos of the early years. Free to enter and a nice place to duck in out of the heat or rain. Worth a visit.

Entrance to this museum is free, but it is definitely worth a visit. History of Chinese migrating to settle in Sarawak is well documented and illustrated. The displays with many artifacts and utensils are varied and very informative, providing much information on the past and current life and culture of the lively and large Chinese presence in Kuching.

Admission is free and photography is allowed (unlike the Sarawak Textile Museum). I loved the section on traditional musical instruments the most, because I've always been fascinated by the gu zheng and pi pa. As there is only one floor, you'll probably a maximum of 30 minutes. Hop in and take a look!

This museum is very small, so it doesn't take a lot of time to go through, but it is definitely worth a quick visit as you will probably pass by it anyways. It is located right on the river. Despite it's small size, the museum uses a lot of technology in its exhibits, making it more captivating to the visitor.... More

It is a very good museum with interactive displays, furniture that is over 300 years old,... More

Small museum but many information about how Chinese came to Sawarak and what they did when they arrived. There also a large map on wall showing shops that still exist in Sarawak that you can have a visit.

This is a small museum that is very very well curated. I like the short synopsis of the history of chinese coming to live here. A nice respite after a hot day of walking around Chinatown area. Highly recommended!
