Darul Ridzuan Museum

"Darul Ridzuan" is the Arabic honorific title for the state of Perak. Opened on 18th August, 1992, it is museum about the history and development of Ipoh, and the mining and forestry industry of Perak. The pretty, almost doll house-like building was originally built over 80 years ago as a home for a tin miner-turned-millionaire named Foo Choong Yit, before being bought by local government and used as an administration centre.

For those interested in architecture, the museum provides pictorial information on the colonial heritage buildings in Ipoh.
