Yasmin Newseum – Time Tunnel Museum

Get a taste of the rich and diverse culture of Malaysia by going on museum-hopping in Kong Heng Square and your first stop should be the Yasmin Newseum, located at the charming former bank vault that once housed gold bars and tons of cash, inside Bookxcess Ipoh.

The late auteur is renowned for her critically-acclaimed films that touch on different facets of being a Malaysian. Consider the place as an ever-evolving space, instead of an archive because contents; be it poetry, films, or prints related to Yasmin Ahmad are refreshed every 6 months to 1 year. Definitely an interesting place to visit if you want to gain a deeper insight into the sociocultural background of Malaysia.

Another interesting Yasmin Newseum Kong Heng Museum that you can visit is the Time Tunnel Museum which is just a stone’s throw away from Kong Heng Square. There are many old trinkets and items displayed in this museum, which will bring its audience back in time. The museum portrays a setup of an old house, so be sure to explore every insta-worthy corner while you’re there.
