Borneo Cultures Museum
About This Museum
People come to the Borneo Cultures Museum not just to escape the Kuching heat, but to truly understand this island. They leave with their heads full of stories—of headhunting legends, the haunting sound of the sape, and the intricate patterns woven into Iban textiles that tell of a journey into the afterlife. It's a place that feels less like a sterile gallery and more like a vibrant, living heart of Sarawak. You can't help but feel connected to the deep, ancient pulse of Borneo after walking through its halls.
Collection Highlights
You'll find yourself standing before an entire Iban longhouse, marvel at the sheer presence of authentic totem poles from the Orang Ulu communities, and get drawn into the world of traditional ceremonies through captivating sound and light displays.
Visitor Information
It's right on Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg—you can't miss its striking modern design. Do wear comfortable shoes; there's a lot of ground to cover across its five spacious floors.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a landmark, a stunning contemporary structure inspired by Sarawak's traditional rice hat and woven motifs, beautifully blending the old with the new.
