Orang Asli are the aborigines of Peninsular Malaysia. Their population is estimated to be over 60,000 people, which is now fast-disappearing with development and modernization. Located north of Kuala Lumpur, this museum houses a large ethnographic collection of the indigenous tribes. The exhibits portray their lifestyle, culture, myths and legends. The displays, among others, include a 600-year-old collection of tribal heritage such as blowpipes, spears, porcelain and ancestral figurines. Close to the museum is a craft shop selling souvenirs including tribal crafts.
