... Beautiful museum building view... maybe not the biggest, most modern museum you will ever see, but nonetheless a great place to learn about the rich culture and history of Malaysia... they showcase the timeline of early human civilization towards the colonial era and then the modern Malaysia... the museum includes an outdoor section containing a gorgeous traditional raised house, ancient burial poles from Sarawak, steam locomotives... and what a coincidence Jobbo used a lovely "Golden Retriever" used as Guide dog stamp... my favorite dog breedツ... we have one, she is 5 years old and called Mira🐕! Thanks a lot Jobbo!!¯\_(ツ)_/¯
