Most of the items on display at the Museum are masks and carvings from the Mah Meri and Jah Hut tribes. The Mah Meri of Selangor are among the most well known Orang Asli tribes. They live close to the coast and make a living as fishermen, although in recent years, tourism has also become an important source of livelihood. They are extremely skilled at woodcarving, hence the masks which are used in rituals and ancestor worship.

There are also woven pieces, agricultural tools, clothes made from bark, weapons, and musical instruments. The museum is all too small, as it is interesting but won’t take much longer than 45 minutes to look round. I definitely recommend considering it as part of an extension to the National Museum rather than making a separate visit. Think of it as 3 museums for RM10 when added to the Ethnology of the Malay World Museum, and in that spirit it’s worth the entry fee and the journey.
