So many things to see!

Nov 2018 • Couples

The museum is located alongside all the other main historical attractions like the Balai Nobat, art gallery, istana and mosque. It's pretty large and shoes must be removed to enter this museum. There's no entrance fee, just a visitor log that you need to sign before going into and leaving the venue. So many interesting things to see in relation to the royals - our favourites are the vehicles, clothes, graduation robes and of course, the weapons! The place is clean and well-maintained. The lighting however is pretty dimmed. The place closed at around 5pm so be there early to see everything!

More of a gallery than a museum. Lots of historical details and fact to be observed. Also lots of attraction within walking distance

Very well-maintained gallery

May 2018 • Friends

I really enjoyed visiting this gallery. It gives you a sneek peak into the life of Royals. There are many personal collections of the Sultan. I like the old passport in particular.

A glimpse into the life of the current Sultan of Kedah at this Gallery.

May 2017 • Solo

A gallery that chronicles the life and reign of the current Sultan of Kedah, sultan Abdul Halim through photos, portraits and his personal belongings relating to him and his family. Sultan Abdul Halim just celebrated his 89th birthday and created history by becoming the Yang Oertuan Agong of Malaysia twice. The Gallery is lifted in a restored colonial building right in the heart of Alor star. It is located across from the Zahir Mosque, next to the Kedah Royal museum and a stone's throw from Kedah Tower and Aman. Best time to visit would be in the afternoon to take respite from the heat outside as the building is air conditioned. Visit this building as part of your walking tour of downtown Alor Star. It is not very crowded like most of the attractions in this quiet town. An educational place ideal for the family and fans of monarchy. The building has been beautifully restored.

a must visit attraction if you are in Alor Setar

Dec 2016 • Family

this gallery is located in the city center of Alor Setar and closed to other attractions such as Zahir Mosque, Balai Nobat, Balai Besar and Royal Museum. It exhibits various personal collection of the reigning Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah such as clothing, awards, photos and vehicles. My favorite section is the vehicles collection. The admission is free but sadly, photography is not allowed. Some of the items on display are showing the sign of ageing and definitely in need of proper maintenance from the management. Nevertheless, this gallery is a very good attraction and considered as a "must visit" if you are in Alor Setar.
