Royal Selangor Visitor Centre
A pewter brand founded in 1885. The visitor center offers a look at craftsmen at work and pewter DIY, along with the world's largest pewter beer mug.
Royal Selangor was founded in 1885 by Chinese immigrant Yong Koon and is Malaysia's best-known pewter brand. The visitor center in northeastern Kuala Lumpur is free to enter. Guided tours explain the link between tin mining and the city and show the processes of casting, polishing and hammering. At the entrance stands a giant pewter beer mug recognized by Guinness World Records. The paid 'School of Hard Knocks' workshop lets you hammer out your own pewter plate to take home (about 1 hour), and there is also a chocolate workshop. Pewter items in the shop are popular souvenirs. Getting there: take a taxi about 5 minutes from LRT Wangsa Maju station, or join a city tour route.
