Housing thousands of heritage items, the museum prides itself of intricately collected items from culture to arms, from maritime to living and varieties of artifact collections which depicts the country's heritage from prehistoric times to different period of later times. The museum is so well put together that visitors couldn't help but admire the inventiveness and initiative of the people behind such display of country's treasured items.
