While visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia we happened upon the National Textile Museum of Malaysia.  Located a short walk from the Central Market, The Textile Museum is housed in an elegant, historic, colonial building of Moghul-Islamic architecture.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

The museum\u2019s role is to \u201c collect, conserve and document and display the diverse national textile collection, especially the traditional handwork of the multi-ethnic society of Malaysia comprising Malays, Chinese, Indians, Orang Asli  and the indigenous peoples of Sabah and  Sarawak\u201d.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The museum\u2019s five galleries artfully display their beautiful textile collection with informative didatic panels. There is also a small video room, unfortunately the film is not in English but the visuals can be enjoyed nonetheless.  Also within the building is a small caf\u00e9 and gift shop.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

Admission is free and the museum is open daily from 9am \u20136 pm.  Anyone visiting K L should plan on spending some time there.  A cool stop for a usually very hot afternoon.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
