When holidaying in Kedah,
the main place of interest to learn more about its
cultural heritage and also the royal heritage of the
royal family of Kedah is at the State Museum in Alor
Setar which is
locally known as the Muzium Negeri. This fine building,
built in 1936, depicts strong Thai architectural design
which shows the strong influences the Thai had on this
town. Wonderful items seen here are artifacts from
Lembah Bujang and rare Chinese porcelain ware but the
main attraction here is the 'gold and silver tree'
located at its entrance which was made as a yearly
tribute when Kedah was ruled by Siam.
