The Malaysia Architecture Museum (Malay: Muzium Seni Bina Malaysia) is a museum in Melaka City, Melaka, Malaysia.

History

The museum building was originally built by the Dutch Empire in the 18th century during their occupation of Melaka as the residence and administration center of the Dutch officials. During the British Malaya period, the building was used as an administrative office. After the independence of Malaya in 1957, the building became the office of Melaka Water Board.[1] In 2000, the building was restored to its original shape by the department of Museum and Antiquities. The museum was opened in 2004 and it is administered under the Antiquity and Museum Association.[2][3][4][5]
