Have you been to Sarawak Museum recently?
Hello all... Namaste~!
I like to spend some free time in the museum - whenever i had the chance. I think we also need to occasionally go there either alone or with family and friends. Sometimes there is something, particularly the oldest history that has been or is about to disappear, only can be found in Museum.
On 10 May 2013, I was one of the bloggers who were invited to witness the re-opening of the museum. Super excited!! It's been a while!
While waiting for it to start...
This ceremony was attended by Mr Ipo Datan (Director of Sarawak Museum), Puan Aisah Eden (Chief of Corporate Services) and Ms Joanne Tan Cho Yian (Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility).
Sarawak Museum, in collaboration with Sarawak Energy (Sarawak's energy provider), on the 10th May 2013 unveiled the redesigned longhouse gallery showcasing the culture and heritage of the indigenous people of Sarawak. The enhanced cultural gallery, entitled the ' Longhouses of Sarawak', includes collections of historical artefacts, life-size recreations of a longhouse, historical photographs, legendary stories, traditional musical instruments, handicrafts, tools and traps used for fishing and hunting and others.
Sarawak Museum's Director, Mr Ipoi Datan said in his welcoming speech, "The partnership between the Museum and Sarawak Energy is aimed at enhancing visitors' experience to our cultural gallery. There are multimedia displays and more detailed information on the exhibit. This will benefit students or visitors who are looking for information on the longhouses in Sarawak."
Puan Aisah Eden, the Chief of Corporate Services who was representing the CEO of Sarawak Energy for this event quotes, "We have approximately 30 ethnic groups in Sarawak and each contributing to the State's diverse and rich culture and heritage. Steeped in history this melting pot of culture, lifestyle and language, is a reflection of colour that make up our beautiful Sarawak. Sarawak Energy is proud to play a part in this cultural preservation for our future generation to enjoy and learn from."
Soon after the gift-exchanged... it's time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony...
While Puan Aisah Eden and Mr Ipoi Datan stroll around to see the latest in the museum displays - I've managed to capture some too...
*I'm not so sure if you can bring in a camera to the museum - do check ok? In a certain museum, you might need to pay for a certain type of camera.*
