VISITING SUNGAI LEMBING MUSEUM - PART ONE

16TH SEPTEMBER 2023 ~ The main attraction of Sungai Lembing would be its museum sitting on top of a hill. To get to the building was an uphill task, literally speaking as all the cars were parked outside the compound.

The building was originally the house of a high ranking officer of the mine which was later converted into a museum.

Why is Sungai Lembing significant to Malaysia history? It once hosted the largest, deepest and longest underground tin mine in the world.

Generally, the museum exhibited everything related to underground tin mining in the past.

One part of the museum was like a geology gallery.

Only the bedroom part of the house was still maintained as the accommodation of an English man.
