Gopeng Museum, Perak, Malaysia
4.0 (28 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Kampar District Speciality Museums
travel back in time!
Coming here seemed like teleportation back a 100 years ago. every thing retro (well almost) brings old timer like me down memory lane !! The fascinating aspects seemed to be natural ventilation and the 3rd floor (penthouse?!!) seems grandeur considering the setting 100 years ago. Wonder what they do for kicks those days without electricity let alone TV or PCs. Leave much to your imagination but then again the rich folks are said to have more than 1 wife!! As for plumbing read toilets don't look for one on the upper floors. in case the younger generation doesn't know , they use potties !! ugh!!! I don t think I want to live in that era. Thanks for preserving the heritage ! A must visit if you want to know how rich folks live those days!! Thumbs up!!!

Small house but informative
It looks very small from outside but surprisingly, it's huge inside with 3 storey floor. It's free entrance & we get see those valuable antique which remind us the golden days.

Educational But Not Maintained!
This museum is not exactly a museum, it’s more to a place that stored old things such as olden days video player, gramophone, typewriters, ..etc. The place was not properly maintained and kept. There’s no entry fee and it’s based on donation from visitors. I think whoever manage the place should spend some money to do up the place in order to attract more visitors.
