The museum was established in 1888 as Selangor Museum. After almost being virtually destroyed by bombs during the 2nd World War 1945, proposals were made to set up a central museum for Malaysia, hence the National Museum which was declared open in 1963. Collections vary from ethnographical objects, archaeological artifacts and natural history specimens.

Thematic exhibitions are held at intervals to promote an awareness of the country's rich cultural and historical heritage. This article elaborates on the DG's plans.
