5)The adventures in..... Kota Tinggi Museum!

3.46pm

The next destination was the ‘Kota Tinggi Museum’.

 It is a two-storey building consists of thouasnds of artifacts from the earlier generations left by the royal families and also highly-respected soldiers. We felt as though we went back through time as we read the histories of these artifacts. 

Built in 1997, the museum traces the history of the Johor Sultanate.
The site was chosen for a museum due to its historical significance as the seat of the old Johor Sultanate.

The valleys of Johor River was also the start of the new era of the Malay Sultanate after the fall Malacca in 1511 to the Portuguese.

It was here also, at the valley of Johor River that the famed writer Tun Sri Lanang wrote the annals of 'Sejarah Melayu' (Malay History), a histography of Malay excellence.

Among the exhibits at the Museum include the glorious history of Johor River, starting with the reign of Sultan Allauddin Riayat Shah II until Sultan Mahmud Shah II.

The story of the King (Sultan) who was killed while being carried on a royal litter, refers to Sultan Mahmud Shah II.

He is famously referred to in historical books as 'Sultan Mahmud Mangkat Dijulang.'

We also discover the paintings, historical dioramas, weaponry and much more on display at the museum.

These were the accessories the royal princesses and queens of the earlier generations  wore.

Sarongs...

 It is also amazing to look at the old Qur'ans as they were really different from the present ones.

We just love this picture the MOST... Look at it! It was like from the earlier generations and it looks beautiful~ 

Not to forget, we had so much fun taking photos at the exhibitions!

After being amused, we were devastated when we knew our camera’s battery went flat! Too bad we cannot take more pictures! (T_T)

Me(Raudhah) and Musfirah decided to get a little dramatic that time... XD
