  • I had visited the museum in the year 2016, it was very impressive museum in Myanmar. The exhibition galleries were great design and the collections display were magnificent. I was really enjoy my museum day that I had been a lot of learning about Myanmar history and culture.
  • Again, with everything being so relatively cheap, the money you will pay to get into the museum is so worth it. A large complex of interconnected buildings, airconditioned, comprise the museum. They are categorised chronologically, charting the history of Myanmar. The exhibits are very, very well made and a surprise for me based on my expectations. The have large scale models of temples, full sized models of their warriors clad in their traditional attire, they have a room where all the gold attire and vestments and ancillary items of their past Kings are displayed majestically. They have halls for their musical and even geographic history - it can take a full half day to explore it with any meaning. The exhibits are annotated in English. The building itself is has beautiful craftsmanship, especially the ornate huge doors. You can learn so much about the greatness of Myanmar here. Overall, a very impressive and convenient way to learn about the history and culture of Myanmar.
  • Love the stone age and bronze collection. Modern art collection feature a very unique painting style. Worth a visit.
  • World class museum, very very large with numerous sections covering arts, history from prehistoric man to all the tribes and languages and cultures of the people. The fossils section is a paleo treat with the oldest primates in the World. There are some interactive exhibits and a ASEAN section recently opened. The museum is continually expanding and I will definitely visit again, for tourists it is not only an attraction but helps visitors understand the country with maps revealing many of the hidden treasures and secrets of this magical country. The building itself is also very grand with impressive decor and design.
  • Nice Place to visit. You can learn the history and culture of Myanmar and Myanmar Art. There are many classic cars used by State Leader in there.
