Kota Kayang Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the northern gateway town of Kuala Perlis, the Kota Kayang Museum feels like a quiet escape from the coastal bustle. Its low-slung, traditional wooden structure sits serenely within lush, manicured gardens, a nod to the region's architectural heritage. Inside, you'll find a narrative of Perlis that stretches back to its prehistoric days and winds through the era of Malay sultanates. It’s a compact but insightful journey, perfect for an afternoon of discovery.
Collection Highlights
Look for ancient stone tools and pottery shards that hint at early human settlement, alongside detailed accounts of the Kedah Tua kingdom. The museum also delves into the more recent history of the Perlis royal family.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find just outside central Kuala Perlis; consider combining your visit with a fresh seafood meal at the nearby jetty. Check locally for current opening hours as they can vary.
Architecture & Building
A classic Malay timber house raised on stilts, with a steeply pitched roof that seems to grow organically from its landscaped surroundings.
