El Museo Nacional de Textiles nos llamó la atención por su fachada morisca impresionante: cúpulas, arcos y detalles que ya valen la parada. Solo pudimos verlo por fuera, pero aun así se lleva varias fotos y un buen "wow". Tip viajero: si te interesa la historia del batik y las telas malayas, revisa horarios para entrar; queda justo frente a la Plaza Merdeka, así que es una parada fácil de combinar. Un edificio precioso y fotogénico, aunque solo lo veas desde afuera.

I’ve always wanted to visit this museum and finally had the chance today! It was a decent experience, worth spending about 30 minutes exploring. The entrance fee is RM2 for Malaysian adults and RM5 for non-Malaysian adults, while children under six can enter for free.

An interesting museum displaying over 4 different exhibitions over 2 floors. A great way to learn about the history of the textile world across the different cultures in Malaysia. RM 5 per ticket for foreign visitors. Worth having a quick gander before or after visiting Independence Square or the "I love KL" sign. Not all the rooms have air conditioning.

Steps away from the River of Life, this is a lovely museum where one can see beautiful creations, and their history. Depending on your pace. It’s either 40 minutes or a little over an hour. It’s a great place to stay cool and see many beautiful fabrics

Mình đi lúc này là 5 năm trước. Lúc đó chưa có nhiều kinh nghiệm, do lần đầu xuất ngoại, còn bỡ ngỡ lắm. Khi đó đi ngang, thấy kiến trúc đẹp nên là đứng lại chụp hình, chứ củng không biết là bảo tàng, nên củng không vào tham quan.

C'est vraiment enrichissant. J'étais toujours fasciné par les tissus Batik depuis mon enfance. Aujourd'hui, j'ai pu étancher ma soif. C'est vraiment informatif. Il faut juste prendre le temps d'admirer et surtout lire les informations affichées. Il faut payer les billets par espèce. A recommander.
