Reflection on Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Museum


The Sultan's former palace was elaborately decorated...
There were numerous rooms in the palace, such as the Chamber of the Royal Council ,Royal
dining room ,Children room ,State bedroom and dressing room of the Sultanah ,The anteroom ,The reception room ,Banqueting room ,Throne room ,Miscellaneous collection and hunting room.


I learned that there were no modern facilities in the past, such as toilets and was initially shocked. Later on ,I realised the basin-looking porcerlain containers were actually for the people to spit in and the vase-like porcerlain container was actually the toilet bowl... And they were found in the bedrooms.

The most interesting and impressive item in the palace was the antiques. They were suprisingly well-kept and looked as good as new... A number of them were from China - the antique vases and plates.

The experience in the Palace was truly memorable and interesting, since I there were many things that I have never seen before that were found in the palace.
