What travellers are saying
- ALIAANUAR@SEU338EGeorge Town, Malaysia21 contributionsIn this museum, they display variety of Malaysian food. So it very attract the foreign tourist to try all of the food by promoting them in the museum. It looks really tasty though and looks real.Written 14 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- IRHSRochester191 contributionsExcellent example of a Kongsi but very crowded with tour groups. You have to maneuver your way around them to get a view of the area. I visited in the morning when the sun was behind the building, difficult to get a good view of the roof figures.Written 6 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- huiweikuok7 contributionsCame to Penang a couple of times but never heard about this place before, so decided to give it a try. This is one of the Penang’s hidden gems. I was greeted by a lovely lady Elaine, my tour guide, who brought me back to the history of music in Penang. The whole tour took around 2 hours, but you will never feel the time passed, as they emphasize on engaging your senses. You are encourage to touch, feels and listen to the instruments. Had a blast here and hopefully more people can discover this place too. Please make an appointment at 012-416 1550 before drop by as they are following a strict SOP due to covid.Written 7 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- mudcowGeorge Town, Malaysia322 contributionsWe've been several times, this is a lot of fun for children and accomodates a wide variety of ages. The additional precautions due to the pandemic are a bit of a pain but completely neccesary. The staff on hand around the exhibit are generally very good and multilingual.
It's not on the same level as Petrosciens in KL but for a Penang attraction this is really rather good.Written 10 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Molly KPenang Island, Malaysia28 contributionsI agreed with the comment and title of the earlier writer... if you love camera and photography definitely you going to love this place...

- Stephen LeeSingapore, Singapore64 contributionsIts an eye opening experience to explore a mock - up mine with lots of educational information about the history of gold.
The river gold mining experience was tiring yet fun, sifting through the basin of sand for gold. Finding one gold nugget among the haystick of sand was a joyful moment for me.
