Well, I would like to tell you about the City
Museum, in Malaysia which I visited a year ago. The experience was superb and I
will never forget the rich collection this museum has.
I went to visit my elder sister and her family
in the Malaysia in 2018 and I was lucky that my sister took me to the City
Museum. Established in 1753, the City Museum is located in Selangor, Malaysia
and it is considered the first national public museum in the world. It has more
than 4 million works and the collection is awe-inspiring.
The City Museum is massive and overwhelming.
Once I reached there, I was fascinated by its exterior and building. Once
inside, I got lost in the history. I could not believe that a museum could
preserve the entire human history- from the very beginning until the present.
It’s extraordinary collection spans over two million years of human history and
culture. Over 7 million visitors every year, it is one of the most famous
museums in the world. Before visiting this museum, I did not know how massive a
museum and its collection could be. The museum also epitomizes the long
Malaysia traditions of exploration, quirkiness and obsessive collecting. I felt
like I could spend weeks there! I thanked my sister for taking me to the
museum.
While I was there, I felt like I was taken to an
alien planet! After an hour or so, I felt like I had been travelling in a time
machine and the history was happening in front of me! At a time when my sister
urged me that we should leave, I felt like I still had so many things to see. I
told myself “I will return here again and enjoy the remaining collection if
I ever visit the Malaysia again”. I can tell you that, this is a
must visiting place if you ever visit the Malaysia. To me, it the best museum I
have ever been to.
