The Sabah Museum was built in 1985 and is located on the former site of the government residences of the British Empire. The museum complex includes the main building, the Science and Education Center, the Cultural Village, the Sabah Gallery and the Museum of Muslim Civilization. The main building is shaped like a Longhouse, with beams extending outward from the roof, like a Sumasha dancer with outstretched arms. It is a great place to learn more about Sabah's rich history, society and natural history. In addition, the cultural village near the main body of the museum is quite distinctive, it imitates the traditional residence characteristics of the Aboriginal people in Sabah, and builds many houses. Tourists can enter every room and hall to visit and explore, and there are even real people demonstrating the living and rest, using the real situation of tools.
