I'll be real with you — for the longest time, people said Kuching has "nothing to do" But ever since the Borneo Cultures Museum opened, I realised — we actually have a world-class museum right here in Kuching. RM323 million building, largest museum in Malaysia, second largest in Southeast Asia — this is no joke. Let's get straight to it [image: 1780020366019-01-front-view-resized.jpg] Source: Wikimedia Commons First Impression: Massive My friend stood at the entrance and literally froze: "Wait, the WHOLE building is the museum?" — Yes. Yes it is. The architecture draws inspiration from Sarawak's traditional craft motifs, perfectly complementing the nearby new DUN building.

I spent 3 hours inside and still wanted more." — Sarah L. "Even my 7-year-old found it fun. The interactive exhibits are really well done." — Ahmad R. "Entry is only RM10, the AC is great, and you can spend the whole day here. Best weekend spot." — Mei F. By April 2024, the museum had already crossed 1 million visitors. There's a reason for that.

One word — worth it. RM10 for a full day of AC-cooled cultural exploration? There aren't many places in Kuching that offer this value. I also caught a live Ngajat dance performance on a weekend — hits different when you see it in person vs watching on YouTube. Have you been yet? Drop your experience in the comments

老实讲，古晋一直以来都被人讲「没有东西走」 但自从 Borneo Cultures Museum 开了之后，我才发现——原来我们古晋也有这种世界级的博物馆。 整栋建筑 RM323 million 打造、全马来西亚最大、东南亚第二大——不是跟你玩的。 直接说重点 [image: 1780020366019-01-front-view-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons 第一印象：大到夸张 我朋友第一次去的时候，站在门口直接愣住：「蛤整栋都是博物馆？」——对，整栋都是。 从外面看已经很有气势，那个建筑设计灵感来自砂拉越传统手工艺图案，跟旁边的 DUN 新大楼互相呼应。 [image: 1780020366976-02-garden-view-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons 里面有什么看？ 5 层楼，4 个主题展区： Love Our Rivers — 认识砂拉越的河流生态 In Harmony with Nature — 沿海、雨林、高原族群的生活故事 Time Changes — 从旧石器时代到现在的文明演变 Objects of Desire — 砂拉越博物馆的精选文物收藏 还有一个 Kids Gallery，带小孩去也不会闷。 [image: 1780020367935-03-museum-2024-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons Google 评分 4.7 真的假的？ 去看了一下 Google Maps 上的留言，很多人给的是真评价： 「绝对要来看！我在里面走了 3 个小时都不够。」— Sarah L. 「连我 7 岁的孩子都觉得有趣，互动展区做得很好。」— Ahmad R. 「入场才 RM10，冷气又够冷，周末不知道去哪里的最佳选择。」— Mei F. 到 2024 年 4 月，已经突破 100 万人次 参观。不是没有原因的。 [image: 1780020368791-04-backyard-view-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons 实用资讯 ️ 地址：Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, 93400 Kuching 时间：9:00AM - 4:45PM（周一至周五）/ 9:00AM - 4:45PM（周末及公共假期） 票价：成人 RM10 | 学生 RM5 | 12 岁以下免费 官网：museum.sarawak.gov.my [image: 1780020369707-05-tugu-view-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons — 从 Tugu Pahlawan 拍过去的景色 值得去吗？ 一句话——值到爆。RM10 可以吹冷气看文物看一整天，古晋真的没有几间地方做到。 而且听说周末会有文化表演，我去的时候刚好遇到一场 Ngajat 表演，现场看真的跟 YouTube 看不一样。 你们去过了吗？留言分享一下你的体验
