Sabah Museum (GPS: 5.96061, 116.07146) is a museum that showcases the culture and tradition of the peoples of Sabah. It is located along Jalan Muzium, on a hill at the corner of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Penampang in Kota Kinabalu.
The main building of the Sabah Museum is a four-storey built to resemble the longhouse of the Rungus and Murut people. Inside are exhibits of tribal and historical artefacts, as well as a showcase of the flora and fauna of Sabah. Even the famous limestone caves are presented here in replica, to give a feel of how it is like at Gomantong and Madai Caves.
Within the compound of the Sabah Museum are replicas of traditional houses of the different tribes, including a Kadazan bamboo house and a Chinese farm house.
Getting there
Take a bus along Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and get off just before the mosque.

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.
