Good but needs better Upkeep.
Tickets are RM5 for MyKad holders and senior tickets are available at RM3. The gallery has different gifts given to Tun Dr. Mahathir during his tenure from various nations. Its a good walk down memory lane for those that grew up during his time in power. Its great to see memorabilia from South American countries, Asean countries and also beautiful paintings. I would say the Horse Cart from Pakistan, the Prince Charming from Venezuela and Quran Box made of Pearls from Yasser Arafat stood out the most to me. It reminded me of Malaysia in her glory days when we were known as the SEA Tiger. When we there, the air-cond wasn't working so it was hot. The light were also not fully turned on making it difficult to read the writings. The staff at the counter was rude and had a sour-face while we were purchasing our tickets. The security guard was helpful, she guided us on how to view the gallery in flow. Overall, its a good place to escape the heat and shouldn't take more than 1 hour to visit.

Presidents gifts
Cheap to get in. Interesting to see all the gifts lots of glass, silver etc and a Sauber formula one car. Disappointing that exhibit cases are dusty, silver etc needs cleaning, insects had attacked some of the “soft” exhibits such a shame. The gifts are very expensive.ive I would imagine and they need to be preserved properly.
