    Review of: Kuala Lumpur City Gallery
    Gallery over Cafe
    Overall good experience. However the management should place more signs for direction to the exhibition. Currently they emphasise too much on operation of the cafe.

    Review of: National Textile Museum
    Nice small museum, worth the entry fee
    Beautiful outside, with interesting exhibits of textiles and jewelry inside. During my research some people were complaining the they were now charging an entrance few. It was 5 ringit - about $1.22US. I don't know of many museums that are that cheap.

    Review of: Royal Malaysia Police Museum
    Very good police museum
    The museum has a very good lay-out and has a lot of exhibits inside and outside. It shows the history of the police force in Malaysia and it also has a good display of weaponry used from the olden times. They also have a collection of transports surrounding the museum from tanks to a boat and a helicopter.

    Review of: Orang Asli Craft Museum
    Interesting at work
    I would like this museum the craft of Malaysia it was really well put together. Explanation in English it is a very small museum it wouldn’t take long to go through it. It’s worth adding on we go to the National Museum.

    Review of: Music Museum
    Another gem near Merdeka Square
    It 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.

    Review of: The Jade Museum
    More a shop than a museum
    Located 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.

    Review of: Kuala Lumpur Craft Museum
    New display coming
    Part of the governement subsidied Craft Complex now in the middle of a huge construction site the museum is waiting for a new display in February. Judging from the previous it isn't much to expect, this is a very oldfashioned establishment. There is a textile museum at the corner of Merdeka square in central KL showing more of the local craft techniques.
