Tampin District Museum

---

Situated in the 'green zone' on a hilly area close to the Tampin Recreational Park, surrounded by overhanging trees and shrubs, in a very pleasant and refreshing environment. This single-storey museum building, built in the 1920's was originally the residence of a high ranking government officer. It was the first district museum to be developed in Negeri Sembilan. The exhibition areas display various socio-cultural artefacts of the luak Tampin such as musical instruments, traditional Malay weapons and some regalia signifying the traditional and cultural practices of the Malay community including the traditional attire of dignitaries.

There is a special area housing the history of Tunku Besar Tampin as well as an Islamic Civilization exhibition. Other than a collection of local handicrafts, several traditional agricultural tools are also on display. Find out how the paddy fields were ploughed and harvested before the industrial age. To the right of the main gate of the museum, you will notice a white 'Border Stone' built in 1886 which signifies the division of Tampin and Melaka. However, the original location of this stone was Pulau Sebang, a place 500 metres from its present location. And just outside the gates, in front of the museum, is a cultural platform.
