The idea for Galeria Perdana was mooted by former Prime Minister Yang Amat Berhormat Dato' Seri Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad.This unique gallery was built to display and share with everyone the various awards, souvenirs and gifts our former Prime Minister and his wife had received from world leaders, statesmen as well as Malaysians during his tenure. Adopting an oriental architectural design, the awe-inspiring building displays the various exhibits in an ambience of harmony and creative interaction. One section is devoted to gifts made of wood, leather, crystal and lacquer, as well as musical instruments and stone objects. Another section comprises textiles, games, weaponry, ceramics, plaques and Islamic art.There are also gifts of silver, copper, brass and pewter. There is even an array of automobiles. Some of the exhibits are special awards received by the former Prime Minister and his wife.Take time to wander around the Galeria and read the footnotes accompanying each exhibit.The extensive grounds around the building are also very interesting as they are specially landscaped and planted with local trees, shrubs and herbs. Opens 10am to 5pm and 9 pm to 6 pm (School / public holidays) Closed on Monday.
