This museum is along the river and is quite easy to spot. Do check it out if you are around the area. The information is well presented and best thing is it is free and there is air con! =)
Well worth visiting! It is small but very well documented on the migration pattern and different languages spoken. Located on the waterfront.
We were not intending to go to the museum but it was so hot that we just escaped from the heat. It was worth visiting it. It is a small museum with lots of information about the chinese immigration to Kuching. There was a lot of board with text to read and less actual artefacts to look at. I would say the museum represents different branches of chinese coming to Kuching.
It's free, and on the riverside walk, so if you want to learn more about the Chinese immigration into Kuching and see interesting photographs this is a must place to visit. You can then walk up into Carpenter Street in the heart of Chinatown and get a taste of the Chinese community and temple nearby. Lots of cheap eating places to be had in Chinatown.
I love visiting museums... Therefore, It is interesting to see a short video clip played in a room, about how Chinese came from China and how they assimilated their culture. Then, we went to browse to all the Chinese ethnics groups on the mini gallery.In shorts, it is kind of small but straight to the point kind of facts inside the museum.
There was not much to see, but some of the information like how did the chinese came up to this part of Borneo was interesting
A very nicely curated and preserved museum. It's easy to miss but if you spot the James Brook restaurant by the river then this museum is right next door. The presentation is amazing and it's great to see the Chinese contribution to Kuching.
I spent an interesting couple of hours in this museum.The curator was very helpful and an interesting guy to chat to.I would recommend a visit to form an unbiased view of the contribution of the Chinese in Sarawak.
Interesting reading as the Chinese made a huge impact to Sarawak. Situated right on the river front it's easily accessible.
If you're interested in understanding the essentials of the Chinese diaspora of not only Sarawak but of South East Asia this is the best 1/2 hr you can spend in Kuching Must visit. Beautifully put together and displayed with great visuals and some artefacts.
