Royal Malaysian Police Museum — Attraction in Kuala Lumpur

A museum catered to the serious and inquisitive, and a real appreciation of the rich history of not only the current Royal Malaysian police, but also its various forms that existed pre-independent Malaysia.

The sheer amount of authentic and actual paraphernalia stored and displayed here would make any history fans blush. Special mention to their firearms collection, which has quantity and variety in spades.

I don't think that this place would be suitable for schoolkids, except for the guns collection. Most of it just static displays and aren't interactive.

Inside the facility you will see many hallways and exhibits depicting many eras of Malayan history from colonial times to the Emergencies of last century. There are some very intense dioramas depicting close quarters jungle warfare and you can see and touch many relics of each era including equipment, armaments and period uniforms.

The Police Museum is a hidden gem and anyone interested in military history, law enforcement or even war gaming would find this place well worth an hour or two to slowly explore.

Many of the vintage machines like the police motorcycles are in immaculate condition though always ask if you're allowed to touch or interact with...
