Malacca Maritime Museum (Muzium Samudera), Malacca

Maritime Museum, Malacca (9 July, 2005)


Maritime Museum (GPS: 2.19202, 102.24662), or Muzium Samudera, along Jalan Quayside by the banks of the Malacca River, is housed in the life-size replica of the Flor de la Mar, the Portuguese galleon which sank in the Malacca Harbour in the 16th century.

Inside this museum are dioramas and intricately designed ship models. Apart from giving detailed descriptions of Malaccan history, there is also a map featuring charts dating back to the times when the Portuguese were a seafaring nation that conquered the world.

The Maritime Museum is opened daily from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. daily except on Fridays, when it closes at 12.15 p.m. and reopens at 2.45 p.m. The fee of RM2 also enables the ticket holder to enter the Royal Malaysian Navy Museum just across the street.

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.
