Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Gallery, Alor Setar

Previously, it was the High Court building build in 1922. In 2007, they converted the building as a gallery to commerate the life of the previous Sultan of Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah hence the namesake. Currently, as of now, it is closed for an undisclosed time for renovation. You can only walk around outside at the vicinity.

To everyone who want to visit this gallery, make sure to call them first. I visited on 29/12/2022 and the staff said this place has been shut down for renovation for two years now. In the meantime, there’s several museum nearby you can visit. I’m unsure when will the gallery open.

Was known as High Court building (Banggunan Mahkamah Tinggi). Located strategically in city center and nearby to other places of interests in Alor Setar. The design and pillars has been inspired by Roman style of architecture. If you noticed the walls are decorated with Kedah state's emblem (written in Jawi or fusion of Arabic writing which says Negeri Kedah/Kedah state). This building is now being use as a Gallery of Almarhum Sultan Abdul Halim. FYI, currently under renovation (visited on 22 Dec 2019)

Everything you want to know about the late Almarhum Sultan Abdul Halim are here. They also preserved old collection of kedahan fashion. If you are a fashion designer, this is the best place to learn about culture

Very informative about the kedah sultanate especially the last 3 sultans life and history
