Western ideas of museums were introduced during the second half of the 19th century by colonial authorities. The Royal Batavian Society for Arts and Sciences (Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen, founded in 1778), was aimed at promoting research especially in the fields of archaeology, numismatic, ethnography, and collecting artifacts, other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance, and running a small library.

  • Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei
    © Lonely Planet 237 Melaka Back when Kuala Lumpur was a malaria-ridden swamp and Penang was yet to become the ‘Pearl of the Orient,’ Melaka was already one of the greatest trading ports in Southeast Asia. Over time it lost favour to Singapore and became a sleepy backwater compared with its high-rolling cousins, but today it’s this lost-in-time feel that makes the place so charming. MELAKA MELAKA It’s still said that the soul of the country can be glimpsed through the city’s mixed Malay, Chinese, Indian and European heritage and the serene kampung (villages) scattered among the state’s tropical forests, farmlands and beaches. It’s true: this is Malaysia’s good side and it’s no wonder Melaka has become one of the country’s most popular destinations. The variations on traditional cuisine, including the famed Malay-Chinese Nonya food, are reason enough to visit and are a delicious way to experience the region’s cultural diversity. While the coastlines of Pulau Besar and Tanjung Bidara don’t compare with the country’s other beaches, partially due to the water quality of the Strait of Melaka (one of the world’s busiest shipping routes), they do make a relaxing getaway or day trip from the state’s capital. Other diversions away from the city are manufactured creations: the wildlife and theme park of Ayer Keroh and the golf course and water park of A’Famosa Resort. HIGHLIGHTS Eating Chinese dim sum for breakfast, Nonya food for lunch and Pakistani tandoori for dinner at Melaka’s fabulous restaurants ( p249 ) Catching glimpses of old-time Melaka

The Maritime Museum ,The giant replica of the Portuguese Galleon Flor De La Mar is certainly an eye-catcher. The huge wooden ship was built in the early 1990s and is patterned on the Portuguese galleons that took control of Melaka in the early sixteenth century. The real Flor de La Mar sank off the coast of Sumatra in 1511 while carrying a load of treasure from Melaka back to Portugal. While relatively authentic on the outside, the interior of the ship has been designed around the museum exhibits, which cover the early Portuguese period of Melaka's history as a center of trade in Southeast Asia. 3.)
