Places in Malaysia Site Map
Terengganu State Museum is situated along Losong Ferry Road, about 2 km before reaching Islamic Civilisation Park and can be reached using heritage bus C-02. It is the largest museum in Malaysia with many blocks.

Terengganu State Museum shows some cave excavation and the handicraft of the local people such as different kinds of fabric. It concentrates on Limar which they believe it to be one of the oldest Malay textile except for Rainbow cloth. Other fabrics mentioned here are Rainbow Cloth, Rungus, Pua, Mugah, Cindai (Patola) and Geringsing.

Then there is a section on wood carving and other metals such as copper and gold. The techniques used and their history are also mentioned. It has historical section on Terengganu, the stamps, the Menteri Besars, the Royal Family, Petroleum Gallery and Batu Bersurat again.

Outside the main building, there are toilet, rest pavilions, souvenir shops, canteen, guard house, seafaring gallery and a section on Malay Houses. As I was short of time (wanted to go Islamic Civilisation Park), I did not enter the seafaring gallery.

Anyway, I managed to look around the Malay houses site. It shows a few types such as Tele House, Dutch Style Limas House (5 Ridges Roof), Single House with Facial Board, Single House with Verandah and 'Selasar' and Tengku Long's Palace.

Tengku Long's Palace was built in 1904 on a location in Kampung Raja near Besut River. Most parts of the building were built using cengal wood. The Palace structure is based on Wrap Ridges or 5 Ridges. It has meeting halls, ceremonial hall, bedroom, dining room and others. In 1986, this house was moved from Besut River area to its current site.

Lastly, if you were to visit any where in Terengganu, kindly keep the places clean by throwing your rubbish into rubbish bins.
