A screenshot from Badan Warisan Malaysia's '360° Virtual Tour of Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman'.

Amid the high-rise buildings of Kuala Lumpur (1km walk from Bukit Bintang MRT station) is Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman, one of the oldest surviving traditional Malay houses built in stages between 1910 and the early 1930s.

Guided tours in person (around an hour in duration, RM10 donation) are still going on, but now there is also a virtual tour available.
