Top 10 – Must Visit Places In Sarawak

By Max Tan

10. Sarawak Museum

The Sarawak Museum, which straddles both sides of Jln Tun Abang Haji Openg, has one of Southeast Asia’s greatest collections. The ancient wing, which opened in 1891, is styled after a Normandy townhouse. It includes an outstanding ethnographic collection, some excellent natural history exhibits, and a focus on Sarawak’s oil sector. On the first level, there is a wonderful display of traditional woodcarvings.

9. Cat Museum, Petra Jaya

When you’re in Kuching, the city of cats, you should make a visit to the Cat Museum. If you enjoy cats, this is a bonus. In the museum, you may find almost anything that has to do with cats. One fascinating detail about the museum is that the cat relics on display were initially presented in the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur in 1987. The entire exhibition was then relocated to Kuching, and the gallery was officially opened to the public in 1988. Articles, paintings, posters, toys, and many cat sculptures abound in the museum.
