#holidayitinerary #weekendactivitykl #august2025
Small but rich in local heritage, the Petaling Jaya Museum offers a nostalgic glimpse into everyday life during the 1950s. Among its charming exhibits, you’ll find a scene of rubber tapping —a routine activity that once shaped the area’s economy.

Equally captivating are the miniature male and female figurines dressed in the traditional attire of different ethnic groups, reflecting Malaysia’s diverse cultural tapestry. The displays are simple yet thoughtful, making it easy to imagine the rhythm of life in early Petaling Jaya.

Travel Tip: It’s a quick, worthwhile stop if you’re exploring PJ, and best enjoyed with a curious, unhurried pace. Entry is usually free or low-cost, and photography is welcome for most exhibits.

A quiet treasure for history lovers, this museum reminds you that sometimes the smallest places hold the biggest stories.
