    Interesting
    Something different - massive collection of cat replica of various sizes.
    Situated on top of a hill.
    Minimal entrance fee and museum is smallish located in a government building that look like a spacecraft.

    Discover who Margaret of Sarawak was
    Located at the Old Courthouse down near the Kuching Waterfront is this interesting and compact air-conditioned museum dedicated to Margaret, Ranee of Sarawak.
    Born in France in 1849, she lived her childhood in England before venturing to Sarawak and becoming the wife (Ranee) of the White Rajah of Sarawak. The exhibition is comprehensive and concise with a good selection of information, photographs and artifacts detailing Margaret's life and experiences in Sarawak, the whole exhibition was engaging. The gift store had an interesting number of good quality souvenirs to purchase: books, jewelery, coffee and more.

    Educational
    I spent an hour viewing the exhibits, and it was fascinating to learn about the significance of the intricate patterns in the handwoven textile.

    Part of Kuching's old defenses!
    The Square Tower was once part of the city's defenses. Now nicely painted and lighted at night, with a restaurant at the ground level. In the middle of the riverfront walkway.

    20 minute grab ride from the city centre
    Really just a trick art museum with murals depicting Sarawak history, life and food.
    Entry was 29r and seniors 25 r....probably the going rate for these places as we have done them inPenang and Ipoh in the past.
    Save it for a wet day if you want to kill an hour....entry was up a flight of stairs so not for people with difficulties.
