TAIPING MUSEUM

PERAK MUSEUM




THE BRAVE ELEPHANT

THE FIRST MUSEUM (CERTIFIED)



LOOKING HUNGRY FOR INFORMATION


POTTERY LESSON 101



THE ORIGINAL PORTION



THUNDER CAT IN THE HOUSE



THE PRISON JUST ACROSS THE ROAD



CHEESEEEEE




We went there during the last school break. It's part of our Taiping town trip. This is not my first time but only during this visit I was made to know that this museum is the first in the country. Most of the exhibition is about history of Perak.

I really like the information about Orang Asli and Perak has a lot of history related to Orang Asli. The Labu Sayong information is really interesting. History about Perak warrior like Megat Terawih is also displayed. There's also replica of the remaining bones from the Elephant that hit a train in 1894 (rumors said that the elephant was revenging the killing of her baby).

Another interesting fact about the museum is the location just next to Taiping Prison , so it's very unique seeing prisoner being taken out from the prison wearing the orange uniform probably going to the court and of course being escorted.
