Taiping Museum (Part I)
I brought Calvin a day trip to Taiping Museum. Hebe and my mummy tag along together. It has been a long long time I never step in. Not far from my house actually.
This is the side view of Taiping Museum - the oldest museum in Malaysia. Many government buildings in Taiping includes this museum are built with colonial style during the British occupation.
Taiping Museum was just opposite the Taiping Prison.

This is one of the exhibits display at the museum outdoor compound. This is the Avon Sabre jet.
Most of the exhibits here are more than 100 years.
Calvin is standing beside the first steam engine during the first mining activity in Perak.
More photos here and there....
We were still at the outside compound, I'll show more photos inside the building in a separate entry.
The place are well kept and very clean.
Lastly, Calvin want to take a photo with this small cannon.
We have been there once 2 years ago. We took picture with the same train too. Cuti cuti Malaysia or Cuti Cuti Taiping is fun too, as long as we spend quality time with our kids.
