It has been years since my last visit to the national musuem. As I remember, the musuem doesnt look as good as today or as advanced as what we see in the musuem today. There are four gallery in the museum. The galleries basically introducing Malaysia's history starting from the Paleolithic age till today.
Malaysia have been through stages to form a country by itself today. Leaders and Rulers of Malaysia been through different difficulties and challenges to form this country. It is interesting to see and learn how Malaysia government and citizens go through the difficult times. For example, during the Japanese Colonial.
Things that catches my attention in the musuem is the currency and money they use during early century and the changes in shape, material and value of Malayan currency. Its really interesting where in the early century, they only barter trade, and slowly introducing coin made of silver, gold and copper. There are also money in the shapes of animals and plants. And finally, the paper money was introduced. Its really an "eye opening" to see big piece of paper money with small value. Unlike today, the smaller the value the smaller the piece of money. That shows how the economic were back then.
