The museum masterfully blends interactive exhibits with beautifully preserved traditions, making it both educational and visually captivating.

Kampung Budaya Sarawak

Uncover Sarawak’s Unique Heritage in Kuching! 🎭🌿 Spend a day immersed in the dazzling tapestry of Sarawak at Kampung Budaya Sarawak and the Borneo Cultures Museum—where tradition and modern storytelling collide with stunning scenery. Start your adventure early at Kampung Budaya Sarawak (9am–5pm), where you’ll stroll through lush outdoor landscapes with a misty Mt. Santubong as your backdrop. Wander from one cultural house to another (great close-up shots of the architecture! featured here is the orang ulu’s longhouse), and don’t miss the vibrant live performances of different ethnic dances—each framed by nature and dramatic cloudy skies if you visit during rainier mornings. Pro tip: stay hydrated as you explore, and consider renting a car to make transportation a breeze. Wind down at the Borneo Cultures Museum (check hours: open Mon–Fri 9am–4:45pm, weekends 9:30am–4:30pm)—a striking modern building that’s insta-worthy inside and out. Head straight for the historical exhibits where interactive displays and Western-style architecture offer plenty of spots for interesting close-ups and indoor photos (especially lovely on a sunny afternoon). Admission ends at 4pm, so plan your visit accordingly! Stay safe by packing a light rain jacket or a small umbrella as it can shift from sunny to rainy in a flash. Buildings are spaced out, so comfy shoes are a must for exploring both outdoor and indoor cultural landscapes. #Kuching #SarawakCulture #OutdoorAdventure #MuseumDay #TravelSmart
