The Brooke Gallery

Open from 24th September 2016, the 175th anniversary of the founding of the State of Sarawak, the Brooke Gallery tells the story of one of the most remarkable kingdoms in history: Sarawak and its 'White Rajahs'. In the 1830s Sarawak, a province of the once-mighty Sultanate of Brunei in north-west Borneo, was ravaged by piratical raiding and rebellion against Brunei rule. Inspired by stories of its natural wonders and diverse indigenous cultures, a bold English adventurer, James Brooke, arrived on its shores in his yacht, Royalist, in August 1839. He was to forge a unique bond with its peoples and together they built the foundations of today's Sarawak. The displays focus on the people, places and events that have shaped the state. They take us on a journey through a century of 'White Rajah' rule that began in September 1841, was shattered by the Japanese invasion of December 1941 and ended in July 1946 with Sarawak's annexation as a British Crown Colony. The subsequent move towards political independence culminated in Sarawak's part in forming the Federation of Malaysia in September 1963.

Great museum and historical building. Take about 1.5 hours to read and understand the fascinating history of Borneo. Good mix of artifacts and documents. Well worth the 20RM entry.

Siniawan Night Market

Reviewed By JUDYLEE2003 - Kuching, Malaysia

This place is about 40 minutes drive from Kuching city. It is crowded on weekends and most people came here for the nightly food street. I loved the red lanterns and the old shop houses. You can enjoy a variety of nice menu like Chinese and Western food. I loved the oyster omelette here.. This is a nice place for locals and tourists
