About

MinNature Malaysia is a lovely museum home to miniature figures and buildings representing the cultural heritage of Malaysia. The displays were crafted by miniature enthusiasts who wanted to showcase Malaysia’s rich and diverse history. The museum opened in 2016.   

Across the various displays, visitors will find miniatures that showcase Malaysian food, snacks, fruits, and vegetables. Glass walls highlight the lifestyles of Malaysian people in villages and in bustling cities. Beautiful limestone caves display bats, Buddhist temples, and human evolution figures. There is also a series of miniatures that represent all Malaysian tribes.

Many of the displays also feature brief descriptions that further highlight the rich history of Malaysia. There are also a few motion figures located around the museum, as well as model trains. There's a small entrance charge of RM30.
