via Borneo Post, 30 July 2022:
The state government is looking into rejuvenating Kuching’s heritage, which is also part and parcel of the museum’s functions, said Sarawak Museum Department director Tazudin Mohtar.
“We have a very big museum (Borneo Cultures Museum) — the biggest in Malaysia and second biggest in Southeast Asia. We are also the tallest in Southeast Asia with five floors.
“The museum has become a centre of attraction and a place of renewal of Kuching city,” he noted in his speech prior to the ‘Urban Renewal Through Built Heritage Conservation’ heritage talk at the Borneo Cultures Museum today.
The talk was organised by the Sarawak Heritage Society (SHS) and conducted by prominent Malaysian architect Lim Take Bane, and is one of the talks in the Heritage Speakers’ Series the society has been organising for years.
