Chinese Heritage Museum

 Google Maps Link :  Click Here   It was hot a Saturday afternoon, I parked my car at JB Sentral to visit the KTM Museum nearby, only to find out that it has been permanently closed. After having lunch at JB City Square, I walked southwards through the crowded Pasar Karat to visit Chinese Heritage Museum.  The museum is located in a row of shop units. It can be easily distinguished by its four-storey high structure, higher than other units in the row. Inside, it housed the story of Chinese community around Johor Bahru, with details of activities dating back to 1844. Below are some of the interesting tools and entertainment pieces of that period. Coins issued by a Chinese secret society  in 19th century Johor Bahru Porcelains of Qing Dynasty (China) Chinese medicine, and (probably) prescription Opium (candu) pipe
