A rich archive of Malaysia's historical heritage can be explored with a visit to the Memorial Negarawan, Tun Hussein Onn Memorial, Tunku Abdul Rahman Memorial and the "Bangunan Residensi” (the official residence of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia first Prime Minister) situated at Kompleks Arkib Perdana Menteri and Arkib Negarawan (KAPMAN) in Jalan Dato Onn in Kuala Lumpur.

These museums and memorial sites, which spotlight Malaysia's nation-building story with exhibitions, documents, photographs, digital tour, archives and more, are now looking to expand their appeal to tourists - domestic and foreign - who want a deeper understanding about the country.
