Muzium Tekstil Negara

The textile museum is a building itself and it is located beside Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad. We are required to write down our basic information before entering the rooms. The museum is big and consists of two floors. They have a few rooms and the first room I entered showcase how different types of cloths are made. They have all the real tools displayed over there and descriptions of how the textile is made. Sadly the place is really dim which makes reading difficult. There videos showing how the textiles are made. The second room I entered had clothes worn by different ethnics and how to differentiate them. The other room I went was filled with olden days jewelry and there was a projector viewing how they were made.
I cannot fully recall what was on the first floor but I remembered there were a few people selling souveniers and they all welcomed us with a smile (: The place is fully installed with air conditioner and I think it is great especially for tourist to cool down themselves. There are also place to seat in the museum.

The textile museum focuses on the the many different ways batik can be made and also the many different types of batik prints that Malaysia has. I found it very interesting. There were videos explaining how each different method is done. On display would be the different batik patterns. The museum is big. I thought I was done on the ground floor, but there’s another floor of more modern batik and there is a room where a documentary of batik is being played on a big screen. I thought that was it, and then the guard told me that there was more. In a special room, there were a display of batik clothes and accessories. Some of them very traditional, some very modern — like those gypsy pants that looks really comfy.
I thought they did a good job at the museum. I was very well informed.
They have a souvenir shop downstairs. The silk scarfs are gorgeous, but the price is much too expensive.
