National Museum

Yang Teramat Mulia Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, Malaysia's first prime minister, came up with the concept for the National Museum. He believed that in order to highlight every aspect of culture, heritage, and nature, Malaya (at the time) needed a museum with a national identity. Consequently, the National Museum was built on the site of the Selangor Museum building (1906-1945), which was nearly destroyed by an Allied Air Force bombing raid on March 10, 1945.
