Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman (The Penghulu Abu Seman House) — Attraction in Kuala Lumpur

This house was originally built in 1916. Very well preserved and is guided by local people with a lot of information.

Our guide was friendly, funny and informative. The tour was about only 1 hour, but it covered a lot of topics about Malaysian culture such as wedding, religious ceremony, family dramas, dining, cooking, childhood games, and so on.

From outside, we cannot really tell this is the place so without knowing it, so it might be difficult for you to find it. But there are gift shops, many pictures, and displays of the old times. Employees we met were all friendly and easy to chat with.

I do recommend to visit here after you try Muzium Negara (national museum) and textile museum. So you can more relate yourself to various stuff you already learnt.

During the tour, the guide talked about some preservation measures of the house, it was pleasant to meet someone who loves what they do. Highly recommended to give it a visit if you are interested in...

Some have mentioned that the entry price is high, but honestly, it's less than a bowl of noodles at a nearby shopping complex. A heritage house like this requires expensive care to maintain it against the elements. See it and support it before it is...

Beautiful building and excellent tour. Our guide was very informative and worked hard to ensure we had a great experience. We learnt so much about the building and the Malay culture from both ladies who were with us on the tour. The building itself is beautifully preserved with some amazing carvings and includes a fully furnished wedding bedroom, living accommodation a kitchen and office, with many artefacts from the past. Everyone at the centre was very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed talking with them all. We would thoroughly recommend this little traditional oasis in the centre of modern KL. Thank you again for a...
