VISITING THE ROYAL MUSEUM OF KEDAH IN ALOR SETAR

   23RD APRIL 2025   ~ The only tourist attraction I visited when I was in Alor Setar this time was the Royal Museum. The place was near to my hotel, and I made it a point to go as early as possible because I had to check out from the hotel and catch a bus to Penang before noon.

I was the first visitor to arrive and also the only one. Good news: entrance was free of charge. Bad news: No camera was allowed inside the museum.

The museum housed the collectibles that belonged to the royal family of Kedah. It was a small museum but the exhibits were excellently displayed for viewing.

As I was the only visitor. the lady staff at the counter was kind enough to take my photos. She was actually the one giving me instructions of where to pose.

I spent some time taking photos of the museum [which I think was a palace building complex once]. The old buildings were well preserved and taken care of.

I was happy that I still managed to get to the museum despite the tight schedule. I had to rush to Pekan Rabu to do some shopping, went back to the hotel and packed my bags.

I wonder if there are other attractions in Alor Setar that I have not yet visited but there is always a next time.
