Darul Ridzuan Museum

Opened on 18th Aug 1992, the museum is located in Jalan Panglima, Bukit Gantang Wahab, Ipoh. The collections here include a history of Ipoh's expansion and development, the mining industry and forestry in the state of Perak. The museum building has its own remarkable history. It was built more than 100 years ago.

The building was used as the residence of Malay dignitaries in the Kinta District. When the British Administration took over the building, the British built several fortresses as war shelters around the building. One of them was opened to visitors.

The Museum Darul Ridzuan is open daily from 9am to 5pm except on Thursday when it is open for half a day and is closed on Sundays. Entrance is free.
