The Brunei Museum is the national museum that presents Brunei’s archaeological, historical and ethnographic collections. Its displays cover regional history, traditional crafts and Islamic cultural heritage.

Galleries have included archaeological finds, traditional costumes, weapons and material culture from across Brunei. The museum has served as a central institution for preserving and interpreting the nation’s past and cultural heritage.

The museum was developed to collect and present material culture and historical objects significant to Brunei’s history and identity. It forms part of the broader cultural precinct in the Kota Batu area.

The museum is located in the Kota Batu area near Bandar Seri Begawan’s riverfront, an area that includes other historical sites and museums and is commonly visited on short cultural circuits from the city centre.

The Brunei Museum is located in the Kota Batu area east of Bandar Seri Begawan. It’s best reached by car or taxi from Bandar Seri Begawan (a short drive from the city centre); there are also local bus services that run between Bandar Seri Begawan and Kota Batu. The museum sits close to other heritage sites in the Kota Batu precinct.

• Check the Brunei Museum's current opening status before you travel-its public access has been limited for extended periods-so confirm whether galleries are open.
• If the museum is closed, plan a visit to the nearby Kota Batu attractions (Malay Technology Museum, archaeological sites and royal tombs) on the same day, as they are in the same heritage area and often remain accessible.
