Kelantan Wau Museum (GPS: 6.21568, 102.12655) is a museum that celebrates Kelantan's traditional kite. It is located at Pantai Sri Tujuh in Tumpat, Kelantan. Although I went all the way to the museum, I did not go in, because I saw that there is entrance fees, and judging from what I could see from the outside, that it is quite a small museum with limited space, I did not feel justified to pay for an entrance into it. There are other museums in Malaysia that features the local kite, for example, the Kite Museum in Pasir Gudang which is bigger.

Adjacent to the Kelantan Wau Museum is a handicraft shop. It is called Galeri Kraf, and sells all sorts of local crafts. Next to the museum is a shed where there were a few traditional fishing boats. I am not sure how boats got added to a museum celebrating kites, but I support they were trying to create a one-stop museum for Kelantan handicraft.

Opening Hours

The Kelantan Wau Museum is open Saturdays to Wednesdays from 8:30am to 4:45pm, and on Thursdays from 8:30am to 3:30pm. It is closed on Fridays.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
