I really enjoyed this place. The entrance fees just rm4 for a person and you could get rm2 for a student or old folks. Really fun to visit and they got really nice place to capture on. If you are into landscape ofcourse.

The architecture of the building is very nice and the environment and facilities are very well managed. Perfect place to learn about the former ruler of Perak; Sultan Azlan Shah.

Good place to learn about the Perak sultanate. I visit this place whenever I pass by K.Kangsar and they never fix the air-conditioning... For a gallery dedicated to our Sultan, it's a shame -_-"
