Best History museum in Malaysia

J	Janet Law on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The telegraph network in Malaya, all started in Taiping Wow Discover how history was made from dot and dash. (Ketahui bagaimana sejarah dilakar melalui titik dan sengkang) [Must do] hands-on activity to experience morse code
h	hidayu hassan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very friendly staffs, well informed also. Although the space was small, it's very informative. Add on the explanation from staffs, you could learn new things. Tickets price is affordable and quite cheap for the facilities and services they offer. The space is clean. I just wish they had more options for souvenirs.
E	Emily Lowe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Telegraph Museum has a few distinctions. Among them are: one of the earliest colonial buildings in Perak and the first Telegraph Museum in Southeast Asia. Worth paying the admission fee if you are into telegraph, telegram, Morse Code and other telecommunication systems. Otherwise, you can just stop for photographs for its Queen Anne architecture, or with the 2215 Teluk Cempedak Locomotive on display outside.
E	Edmund Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A hidden jewel of Taiping town. Newly restored and renovated with some awesome displays and interactive information boards. The guide is also well versed in the history of the locale.
L	Lin T. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very well run with friendly efficient staff. An assortment of old telegraph and telephony equipment displayed here. Enjoyed the interactive sections and the history boards. You can even send a morse code message to someone’s email. The museum is so well-maintained. Ticket price only RM8. Highly recommended for a easy morning excursion. Best of all the museum is open EVERY day even on public holidays.
S	Sze Ling Hoo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Modern museum. Entrance fees are a bit pricey, especially considering they don't have many exhibits and the collection is not that extensive. Souvenirs are sold at the ticket counter instead of a proper souvenir shop. No cafés here. They could do more to improve the visitor experience here.
S	SB Jan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must visit place if you're in Taiping. This is definitely one of the best museum that we've visited. From the security guard that attended to us to our tour guide the service is just wonderful. The museum architecture and the artifacts is just superb. The surrounding area is immaculately maintained. Congratulations to Telekom Malaysia for an outstanding job in preserving a piece of our great history. Salute?
