Sabah State Museum, Sabah, Malaysia

4.0 (643 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #7 in Sabah History Museums

Check out the traditional houses park

The indoor exhibits were rather pedestrian, some nice displays but overall marred by poor lighting, excessive text & outdated displays. We did have fun checking the vintage car displays and rail heritage display outside the main building. The biggest will be the adjacent park with close to a dozen authentic traditional houses of different types.

    Visit to the museum
    Very interesting to visit the Bornean village houses in the grounds of the museum. We did not have a lot of time to spare but we walked round all the galleries and it was interesting if in need of a little sprucing up. It is easy to walk from the Sabah Art Gallery to the museum.

    Okay museum, good for history
    The museum had a lot of information about the various tribes of Sabah, complete with tribe outfits and tools. The museum also had a good natural history section. Overall, the information is good but I would prefer if it was a bit more interactive. The decor as gift shop was also quite dated, but this is probably a result of no business from COVID for a while. A cafe and WiFi would be good to add.
