This is a small and not very inspiring museum - if you are in the neighborhood and want to kill some time then it may be worth a visit however it is not all that informative, and the carvings are all very recent.

The faces of Orang Asli people on the wall don't differ much from the majority of Malay population. The small exhibition portraits them in hunting gear which look more line role play costumes. The lady explaining to me about the handicrafts made for tourists, not a very profitable income, turns out to be an Orang Asli herself. The aboriginals living both in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo are more and more integrating to the modern society as means of survival.

I would like this museum the craft of Malaysia it was really well put together. Explanation in English it is a very small museum it wouldn’t take long to go through it. It’s worth adding on we go to the National Museum.

This kind of museum has great potential, for it displays the aboriginal people of Peninsular Malaysia. But the exhibit is too small to truly enjoy the experience. Hard to spend more than 1 hour in this small place.

The museum is small but very informative on the native people in Malaysia. Their wood carving are interesting. Get your ticket at National Museum if Malaysia, RM2 for adult

Orang Asli Museum near National Museum shows the preserved traditions, culture, customs and history of that specific tribe. Orang Asli tribe that lived in the in the olden days in Malaysia are no more. This is a hidden treasure as their things are preserved and presented nicely to the present world, which other-vice we cannot see for ourselves, what they were like. Therefore Orang Asli museum is a hidden gem.
Orang Asli museum could be reached by Hop In & Hop Off buses. It is closer to the Perdana Gardens across the road over a pedestrian bridge. It is open from Saturday to Thursday from 9 am to 5 pm. It shows so many things that are made from rattan.

Very good explanations of the life of native peoples in Malaysia. Only full accounting I've seen of the various animus spirits and the crossover with Islam. Good for kids (2 seven year olds liked it) it's small and manageable (20 min is enough), very cheap to enter (4 rmb including entrance to ethnology museum and national museum for kids-10 for adults).
