Go BackSandakan Heritage Museum (GPS: 5.84003, 118.1161) is one of the museums in Sandakan, Sabah. It was opened on 5 December 2003 to document the history of Sandakan.
Sandakan had a headstart over other cities in Asia in terms of development - it was the capital of British North Borneo from 1884 until the end of the Second World War, In 1923, it was installed with an automatic telephone exchange, and this was even before Hong Kong and Shanghai got theirs.
Sandakan Heritage Museum is housed inside Wisma Warisan, which was a British government building during colonial times. The office of the British Resident was located on the first floor of the building, while on the ground floor, there was a post office where the Tourist Information Centre is located today.
