#Activity1:The Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum or the Flora de Lamar is a replica of the Portuguese ship which sank in the coast of Malacca while on its way to Portugal. The replica is a staggering 34 meters in height and 8 meters in width. The main focus of the museum is the maritime history of Malacca and the golden ages of Malacca’s Sultanate as the Emporium of the East. There are also paintings which display how the Straits of Malacca was a strategic location for traders from both the east and the west stop by at Malacca and conduct their businesses while waiting for the monsoon winds to change direction.

Since the ship replica is quite big, you can also climb up to the upper deck of the ship to view the diorama of the captain cabin. Admission into the museum is RM3 per adult and RM1 per child. That's very CHEAP!! So, what are you waiting for? It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Come early during the weekend because there will be lots and lots of people who wanted to visit the museum. Good luck and have fun!

P/S: While you are here, do not waste the opportunity to visit the other museums in the area.

All with happy faces because managed to take picture with this awesome ship replica! ^-^
