★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place to get information about Taiping. A good place to bring child expecially to get them known about animals in Malaysia.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The state of Perak has several museums, including one just outside of the Old Town of Taiping. Apparently it was the first Museum established in the whole of Malaysia, dating back to the 19th century.
Outside there’s a random assortment of historical bits and bobs from dugout canoes to an old railway carriage and coolest of all a F-86 Sabre formerly in service with the Royal Malaysian Air Force. The Avon Sabre RMAF F-86 Jet is an Australian-made single seat fighter-bomber, displayed at Perak Museum in Taiping was donated to the RMAF in 1969. In 1969 Australia announced that in was to donate 18 refurbished ex-RAAF Sabre jets to Malaysia
Inside there’s a small but well done natural history section, complete with skeletons of a tiger and an Asian elephant. It covers a lot of the native animals of the region with skeletons or stuffed specimens in a kid friendly way. To the rear of that is a section on the people of Perak and their traditions.
The museum is located about a kilometre from the centre of town on the Jalan Taming Sari, opposite of Taiping prison.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My 1st experience visiting at this museum ever. I was here in Taiping for working purpose and bring my kids along as it was school break at that time. I would love them having useful information as additional input and surprisingly they loved it. We learned a lot about Perak's history and culture. We will definitely come again for more excitement.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very well maintained museum. RM 2 admission fee to get inside but there are also vehicles outside so be sure to not miss them. Plenty of items on display with detailed descriptions and information on them.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cheap entry with many informative display. Spacious, air conditioned and clean. Can spend a good hour (or more) learning. Love the animal display. I didn't expect a high standard for a small town like this. Hope more people will make it a point to visit so they can keep this going.
There's some antique cars and boat display outside. There's a small children's playground that seemed decent (apart from the broken swing)
No full stars rating because there was a children's corner but nothing was there. And there wasn't any soap in the ladies toilet. The toilet also has be flushed "creatively ". I don't know why this seem to be a common thing with Malaysian spots.
