Bank Negara's New Museum and Art Gallery Visit

Thanks to a very resourceful unschooling mother, we got to go for an organized tour of the brand new Bank Negara Museum and Art Gallery. It is located along Jalan Dato Onn. The place is beautiful. Love the architecture of the building. It is not fully operational yet. There are a few galleries including a children's gallery that are still work in progress. We were told towards the end of this year the galleries will be ready. We were greeted by friendly staff who all speaks good English. Very professional. :) We even saw a real princess! The princess of Netherlands. She was visiting the museum while we were there. Worth a visit but I will wait till the children's museum is ready. :)
