I loved this museum. Only thing is we are not allowed to take photos inside. Entrance fee is RM2 per person. The museum is rich with all royal traditions and cultures. Good to see and read. Each culture has its room/section so it is very well organized. Do visit.

This museum keeps war relics and invaluable memories of Japanese invasion of Kota Bharu in 1941 at its best. The radar used by the Japanese troops (if I am not mistaken) to detect planes and ships is my favourite. Looks like an alien space ship. All well-kept!
