Sarawak Textile Museum
Muzium Tekstil Sarawak
Housed in the Sarawak Pavilion, a colonial-era building from 1909, this museum displays Iban textiles, Malay songket and garments of various ethnic groups.
The museum is housed in the Sarawak Pavilion, completed in 1909. This three-story building blends colonial and neoclassical styles and was originally used as a hospital and education office. Its exhibits include Iban pua kumbu ikat weavings, Malay songket, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu beadwork and bark cloth, with explanations of the weaving process. Located south of the Main Bazaar in the old town, admission is free. It is well suited to a walking tour together with the riverfront and India Street.
