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.

The market was full of stuff. Local authentic stuff. We bought some local spices, local delights & clothing textiles. . The place has 3 floors. On the ground is where the wet market it where they sell fish, chicken, vegetables & fruits. If you wish to buy dry food stuff goes to 2nd floor the price is more cheaper at the upper floor. Local spices like Kuzi, kari & etc2 can be bought there. . On the 3rd floor is the place you can buy textiles. Local textiles & stuff. . On the second floor we tried the local food at the food court. Cheap & tasty. . Overall its a local market. Good place to buy local items.

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!
