About this place

The Borneo Cultures Museum is a museum located in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. It is the largest museum in Malaysia and the second largest in Southeast Asia. The museum displays artifacts relating to the history and cultural heritage of Sarawak’s local people, as well as others on Borneo island.

The museum was under the Sarawak Museum Campus project which was a part of the Eleventh Malaysia Plan. The project was built on the demolished site of Dewan Tun Abdul Razak.[4][5]

Construction of the museum was given approval in 2014 and was handled by Cahya Mata Sarawak through its subsidiary, PPES Works (Sarawak) Sdn. Bhd.. In total, the museum costed RM323 million which was covered by the Sarawak state government. This number breaks down to RM308 million for the construction and an additional RM15 million which was allocated for the digital facilities located within.[6]

The opening was originally planned to be in 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was opened to the public on March 9, 2022.[7]
