Sarawak State Museum - Kuching, Malaysia

Its location is convenient, in the city center, you can easily get here on foot. The museum was founded at the end of the 19th century by Charles Brooke under the influence of the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who at that time was studying the Malay archipelago.
