The Perlis state museum on the site of ancient Indera Kayangan, a port settlement predating modern Perlis, run by the federal Department of Museums Malaysia (JMM). Admission has been free since the museum opened in 2001 (2025 press and museum-directory coverage) — an old RM1 adult / RM0.50 child price still circulates on stale listings and is recorded as a conflict. The museum occupies a rebuilt mansion (the original building was demolished and reconstructed on the same footprint) beside what is described as the peninsula's oldest man-made canal. Opening hours are MISSING across reachable sources — call ahead.
Sorotan & Pengalaman
On the Grounds of Ancient Indera Kayangan
The museum stands where the old riverine port of Indera Kayangan once traded, beside a canal described as the oldest man-made waterway on the peninsula. Galleries trace Perlis from that pre-modern era through the Kedah-Siamese aristocratic world that governed the region.
Three Galleries of Perlis History
The rebuilt mansion houses three main galleries — the architectural history of the house itself, a lineage-and-artefacts hall covering the royal genealogy of the Prophet and Siam-Kedah aristocratic regalia, and a research room — supplemented by a JMM archaeology gallery and a royal gallery.
