The Chinese History Museum was officially opened on 23 October 1993 but the building was completed in 1912, and served as a court. It displays many artifacts and exhibitions pertaining to the history of the Chinese community of Sarawak.
Here, visitors will be introduced to the various dialect groups within the Chinese community, their origins and history. Visitors will be shown, via exhibitions, direction of Chinese trade and migration routes, geographic distributions of various dialect groups, their political history, involvement and contribution to Sarawak.
There is no better place to learn about the diverse Chinese community of Sarawak than from the museum.
