The Darul Ridzuan museum does not get much publicity. Nevertheless it showcases much of Perak's history and some well-kept artefacts. A feature that is synonymous to Perak and Ipoh in particular is the section on the history of tin. Prominent local leaders are also highlighted.

The building had been maintained in all its colonial glory, with the creaky floorboards purposely left in tact, and its antiquity should be appreciated and clearly understood.

I find this museum is a shame for Perak people. The authority did not take a good care of it. They didnt care about the interior, the garden, etc. Its so poor that I feel ashamed to bring any of my friends here.

this is another museum that I like to visit. thay have a comprehensive range of items displayed depicting the life and times in Perak.

Museum has been recently renovated. Interesting display on archaeology but wrong info on some of the displays and the museum "curator" didn't know much.

after reading the history of perak and how tin mines and mining was something that dominanted the states years ago.. its was nice to see the replica. Its a small cozy wooden bungalow which has been converted into a museum. very educational. a place to take school going kids to understand the perak history better..

Museum run by goverment. Free of charge. Next to Goverment building. Opposite with perak's library. educational place, especially with ipoh history and also tin mining history. If got time, go one school , very near to it. You will see this Gothic style school'-St Michael School.

This museum is small but interesting. Sometimes they have a special feature display in the main area. I was particularly interested in the display of tin mining relics outside the building. The museum building is a nice old colonial style house.
