Preserving a slice of heritage

Located in Kampar, Perak, is a fascinating museum of tin mining artifacts where one of the exhibits on display dates back 6,500 years!

THE two security guards welcomed me as I walked into the Kinta Mining Kongsi and handed me a ticket. I knew that admission was free, so I was a bit surprised to receive a ticket. I had entered the Kinta Tin Mining Museum. Located in Kampar, Perak, this one-year-old museum is a wonderful display of artifacts and relics from the days of tin mining.
