Those who commute regularly on the MRT in the Klang Valley might know Muzium Negara better these days as one of the stops along the rail line. Once you alight from the train, though, you will find the charming museum building just a few steps away.

Its role as a custodian of the country’s history aside, the museum’s two-storey building also has an illustrious background.
