Durian - The King of Fruits, The TOP, Komtar, Penang (6 November 2017)


Durian - The King of Fruits is a specialty museum celebrating the durian. It is located at Level 3 of The TOP at Komtar, Penang. The museum includes a walk-in gift shop where visitors can purchase various tourist items such as souvenirs and chocolates, as well as durian products.

The museum proper of Durian - The King of Fruits showcases everything you might want to know about durians, locally as well as on the national and international levels. We get to learn about durian cultivation, propagation, flowering, tastes, appearance of flesh, fruit and thorns, and durian producing nations.

The durians at Durian - The King of Fruits museum are so lifelike, I couldn't tell if they are actual durians. I have to say, the durian in its flesh form look less real, but those in fruit form, and those hanging from the trees are absolutely lifelike.

Makes me wonder if these are actual durians. (6 November 2017)
