Twelve Kuching landmarks unfold in a locally designed pop-up heritage guidebook
-
Twelve Kuching landmarks have been turned into three-dimensional paper scenes in a locally designed heritage guidebook, pairing a city map with history and illustrations.
The Heritage Pop-Up Guidebook introduces sites including the Borneo Cultures Museum, Sarawak Museum, Fort Margherita, Old Court House, Kuching General Post Office and the Padungan Great White Cat Statue. A map links the featured places, making the book a way to connect individual buildings with the wider city.
An October 15 report describes the designer's work from prototype and hand-cut paper components through printing and assembly. The publication was presented to the Sarawak Museum Department, with a focus on making local history more engaging, especially for younger readers.
For families or teachers, the format offers a visual starting point for learning about Kuching before looking at the buildings themselves. It is a heritage publication, rather than a notice that the landmarks have changed their visitor arrangements.
A second, simpler guidebook is being developed with short introductions and room for stamps, sketches and notes. Its release is still forthcoming; the existing pop-up edition and the planned follow-up are separate publications.
