- ronin1770Karachi, Pakistan739 contributionsIt is a hidden gem. If you love history and museum - then it is a must do place. Not only local music instruments and gurus are show-cased here - but all amazing master pieces from across globe are.
I stumbled upon on it on my way back from Merdeka square. I was feeling bit flu-ish. I decided to seek little rest in an air-conditioned oasis. Entrance was free - Air-conditioning was great.
It is a small museum perhaps you need around 1 hour. But displays are interesting and educational. Best part is that the place was deserted and I took as much time I can without noise of crowds.Written 18 September 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- nellielimKuala Lumpur, Malaysia4,110 contributionsLocated in a bungalow off Jalan Imbi and a road away from Jalan Tun Razak, near RHB Building is this Jade Museum. It is more a shop than a museum but there are some exquisite and museum grade jade pieces from the owner's personal collection. There is not much information displayed here but there is a poster explaining the grading scale of jade. The museum is open from 9 am - 5pm and admission is free.Written 24 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
