Borneo Cultures Museum

Sarawak

Borneo Cultures Museum is an indoor introduction to Sarawak’s landscapes, histories and communities in central Kuching. Its five-storey building brings together collections, interpretation and interactive displays, with galleries moving from rivers and relationships with nature to historical change and the significance of objects. It suits visitors who want context before travelling farther into Borneo, as well as families who prefer a focused city visit. Give yourself time to read, compare and revisit displays rather than simply walking through each floor. This is a museum of interpretation and collections: the communities represented continue to change beyond its walls. A visit offers useful questions for later journeys, rather than a complete account of every culture on the island.
