A hearty breakfast out of the way, we
headed to Bukit Losong to visit with the largest of its kind in Malaysia, the
Terengganu State Museum.
Taken off its website: “Acclaimed as the
largest of its kind in Malaysia, the Terengganu State Museum houses century old
artifacts and artworks of rich and colourful heritage. Located on 27 hectares
of land in Bukit Losong, Kuala Terengganu, the complex itself is an impressive
architectural feature, based on the ancient Terengganu palace designs and
architectures. The complex’s many galleries showcase textiles, historical
artifacts, crafts, royal regalia, Islamic arts, contemporary arts, weapons,
petroleum development, historical, sea faring trade, fisheries and marine
galleries.
Herbs and botanic garden is well-maintained
in the vicinity of the museum. At the main entrance, the original Arabic Jawi
text inscription of Islamic religious decree Inscribed Stone or “Batu Bersurat”
of Terengganu is prominently displayed, which proves the earliest acceptance of
Islamic teachings in the Malay Peninsula. The maritime complex, the restored
original old palaces and traditional boats used by sea-faring locals are also
prominently displayed in the compound.”
Priced at RM5 for adults and RM2 for
children below the age of 16, you will not find a better way to spend your
money, believe you me. The only down side is that cameras are not permitted
within the museum (major bummer!). Oh well, we’ll just share the photographs we
managed to snap around the museum’s premises.
