Culture and History In a Well Organised Museum
A free good museum with free entry. Excellent displays of culture and history provide an excellent opportunity to learn about the amazing history of this island and its people. Over two air-conditioned floors and with good translations of the text bosses you can be sure to wander the exhibits in comfort.

Free, air conditioned and informative.
A short walk from the ferry terminal and directly opposite the tourist information office, this museum is nicely air conditioned and free. We spent around 70 minutes in here (and pretty much read every information board). The museum is spread over two floors, with a history of the island, it's people and a reasonable spread about WWII as well. There are details on the coal mining aspects of Labuan and the mix of the various races that make up this community, including details on particular wedding ceremonies (Chinese, Indian, Sikh). There's also a small mock up of a Kandalay house. The museum proudly displays 707 artifacts (I didn't count, but that's what it says in the brochure) and is worth a visit to get an over view of the island and it's history.
