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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
