| Summary: | This article discusses myriad of museums that are located in the northern
region of peninsula Malaysia and their efforts in the preservation and
conservation of cultural heritage. The study adopts the historical approach
but with a tinge of cultural anthropology while the research methodology is
based on museum visits, a scrutiny of publications and pamphlets issued by
museums and discussion with those closely associated with museums. Besides
the dominance of Malay culture museum efforts of preservation and conservation
of cultural heritage including royal ceremonies are selectively undertaken.
Certain aspects of Malay culture are marginalized just like the cultural heritage
of other ethnic groups. Then there is competition within and among museums.
This competition is an extension of the political competition which had existed
since 1957 |
