β β β β β Istana Kesultanan Melaka (replica Istana Kesultanan Melayu Melaka) is located on Bukit St. Paul. This replica of the Palace was rebuilt based on the records of Malay History which describe the uniqueness of the architecture of the Malay Palace in the time of Sultan Mansur Shah who ruled from 1456 to 1477.

β β β β β A replica wooden structure which takes the visitor through displays, illustrations and stories from the days of the Malaccan Sultanate. The Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat story was particularly poignant - Moral of the Story: "Don't follow your leader blindly." ? Highlight for the kids? Strong air-conditioning in the main section ? RM5 & RM3 per entry for adults and kids respectively if local. Will probably occupy for 45-60min.

β β β β β The museum boasts a number of collection but they are mostly limited to dioramas and paintings of historical events that occurred in the past.
Lighting is a bit dim, often some information are delivered in large chunks which discourages visitors from reading them. Its easily a one-hour destination since there isnβt much to see here. After learning about Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat, we enter the galleries of different traders, palaces, and royal attires. This is without a doubt interesting, but often times I have a difficult time contextualizing some of this to the Melaka Sultanate. For example, why the head-dress is worn in different styles across regions is unclear why (as to what it symbolizes). It would be nice if the museum could offer curated tours and guides for those who are genuinely interested in learning about Malaccaβs culture and history.
Going back to lighting, I noticed the museum had an ample amount of windows as part of its architecture. These can easily be a source of light but they are kept close althroughout the compound. Certain galleries are located on the second floor and there are no elevators for wheelchairs users. The museum also lacks seating areas. I believe the museum would benefit from having benches in the exhibition rooms so that visitors donβt have to rush looking at the collection.
There is also a park located at the front of the museum that is a bit rundown and unmaintained.
I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting to learn much more at this museum but it turned out as a much better βphoto opβ rather than a museum. In all fairness, the structure does tell a story about Traditional Malay Palaces and I would still recommend this for those who are unfamiliar to all sort of Malay history. But those with a bit of background to the roots of Melaka, will notice the amiss to the potential of this museum.

β β β β β The entrance needs 20RM for non-Malaysians, it is the museum talking about the old dynasty of Melaka. The price is litter bit high but still affordable compared with the things inside the museum. I think here is the place that you must come to if you come to Melaka. However, don't put the expectation on its garden.
