The old Perak Palace is turned into a modern gallery showcasing the Royal house of Perak. Having a chance to walk on the grounds of the palace is already worth the token admittance fees. Visitors CNN can get a glimpse of the royal life, as well as learning more about the history and tradition of the Perak Sultanate

A must visit place if you visit Kuala Kangsar. Well maintained gallery, and if you are history enthusiast, you could spent up to 3 hours here.
