Kedah Museum Paddy

Museum Paddy

Kedah is also known as " Negeri Jelapang Padi". Museum Paddy is the best place to gather information about rice which is located at Lot 798, Jalan Gunung Keriang, Mukim Gunung Keriang, 06570 Alor Setar, Kedah Darul Aman. These museum displays the history of paddy cultivation in the state of Kedah. 

Museum Paddy was officially opened by DYMM Tuanku Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah, the Sultan of Kedah on 12th October 2004. This is the first paddy museum in Malaysia. 

Museum Paddy not far from my house is only about 3km and takes 10 minutes to get there. For the entry fee is RM5 for adult and RM2 for children per person. These museum show us the cultivation process and displays all kinds of tools and equipment used in rice cultivation over the years.   

Last semester my friends and I go there. While entered into museum, we go to stairs to the top floor of museum. From there we can see the panoramic view of traditional village and lush paddy field. It is the most beautiful mural that I had seen which has been painted on the wall . Apparently, the mural was painted by a team of 60 North Korean artists and I want to say they did an excellent job in creating it. 

Happy holiday and smile always :-)
