With white walls on the exterior and beautiful blue rooftops that compliment the walls, the grand Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Museum was a beautiful museum, and its beauty could not get any more exquisite once I set foot inside the museum. With its fascinating history, I felt closer to the Royal Family as I tour around the museum.
The museum would not look very attractive without the gifts and souvenirs from the countries and people that the Royal Family had interacted with. One example would be the plates displayed near the Throne Room. The plates originated from neighbouring countries such as China and India. Stories of Johor’s history were printed on the plates.
Rather than just attractive, the museum was informative too, for example, with information of the past Sultans and their lives. I now know the 1st to 4th Sultans of Johor; 1st being Sultan Abu Bakar, 2nd, Sultan Ibrahim, 3rd, Sultan Ismail and the 4th, Sultan Iskandar. I do hope to be able to visit such a beautiful and historic place once again.
