Perak Attractions
Darul Ridzuan Museum
Opened on 18th Aug 1992, the museum is located in
Jalan Panglima, Bukit Gantang Wahab, Ipoh. The collections here
include a history of Ipoh's expansion and development, the mining
industry and forestry in the state of Perak. The museum building
has its own remarkable history. It was built more than 100 years
ago.
The building was used as the residence of Malay dignitaries
in the Kinta District. When the British Administration took over
the building, the British built several fortresses as war shelters
around the building. One of them was opened to visitors.
The Museum
Darul Ridzuan is open daily from 9am to 5pm except on Thursday
when it is open for half a day and is closed on Sundays. Entrance
is free.
