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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
