History

The museum building was originally used as the residence for Dutch dignitaries living in Melaka until the end of World War II after which the building was abandoned.[1] On 19 March 1954, G.E.W Wisdom, the British Resident Commissioner in Melaka, turned the building into the Melaka State Museum. However, in 1982 the museum was moved to Stadthuys. The Melaka Islamic Foundation took over the building and used it for several years until the Enforcement Unit of the Melaka Municipal Council took over. In 2004, the building was restored by the Department of Museum and Antiquity and handed over to the Melaka State Government. In 2007, the state government, in cooperation with Pos Malaysia, decided to set up the Melaka Stamp Museum at the building.[2]

Architecture

The building has the shape and characteristics of western architecture with local roof, doors and windows. It was constructed using local materials.

Opening time
