Our last day in Malacca was sunny and humid, typical of Malaysian weather. We decided to make one final tourist stop in the morning before our 6 hour drive back to Penang.
This is final part of a four-part Into The Archives series of photo essays, diving into some of my favourite photos from my three day trip.
- Part One – Family roadtrip to Malacca, Malaysia
- Part Two – Malacca’s museums and historic sites
- Part Three – Malacca’s famous Jonker Street Market
- Part Four – Final day in Malacca
The Malacca Sultanate Palace Museum is located in the city centre. The building is a modern reconstruction of the palace of the Malacca Sultanate (the head of state of Malacca) of the 1400s. The building is mostly made of hardwood and is on stilts. The original palace was located on St Paul’s Hill. The museum houses thousands of exhibits containing artifacts, photos, drawings and prints. They representing the history and cultural heritage Malacca and the people who settled in Malacca in the 15th century. If you are a bit of a history buff, it’s definitely a museum to check out.
After spending the morning at the museum we headed to another popular Nyonya restaurant for our last meal in Malacca. Given it was a Sunday and just after Chinese New Year, many restaurants were still closed from the festive season. If memory serves me right, we had lunch at Restoran Nyonya Makko.
The final part of this four-part Into The Archives series is short and sweet. I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Thanks for stopping by today.
