Kedah State Museum, Kedah, Malaysia
3.5 (22 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #13 in Kota Setar District History Museums
A little dated but worth a visit
The exterior of this building is impressive. The museum has no entry fee. There are vast amount of items but they are not artifact and it is filled with mostly cultural items. If you are looking to know more of the cultures in Kedah (also typical to whole Malaysia) please make your way here. There are translations (english) to the displayed items. Everything in the building feels old. It does need some updating and do note that this place 3 storey high. Take the stairs and read the letters from old king to francis light displayed at the bottom of the stairs. Unfortunately taking pictures are not allowed in the museum. You can take a stroll outside and enjoy the landscape. Next to the building is the Kedah river, for a small fee, you can have a 15 minutes joyride a boat cruising along the river. I'm reviewing it as 4 stars because it is worth a visit (once in your lifetime) if you ever found yourself in Alor Setar. Take the 'cruise' too.

History hub that needs maintenance & more visitors
A famous museum many years back, where students come to collect historical information & do research. However, the place needs maintenance or upgrade, and hold more activities to attract more tourists & visitors. Air inside the building is not so fresh, maybe due to the chemical smell used to maintain the artifacts. Anyhow, there are a lot of things being displayed there. Worth to visit at least once.
