Kuala Lumpur City Gallery

On to something very recent.


Today I spent time attending a makeshift book stall in front of the Kuala Lumpur library besides the Merdeka Square. Nearby lies this building...


I have passed here many times but today I was prompted by a friend to check it out.


Admission is free, so why not?


As it turned out the place is a treasure trove to search for information about the city, history of its buildings and streets.


There are many intricate models of famous landmarks.


But what really caught my eye was a model of the KL skyline.


I learned that the gallery was opened a year ago while this part was only made accesible about a month ago. Have a look at the video below...





This is a model of Merdeka Square and its vicinity.


Then there's a hall for selling souvenirs mainly in the form of thin model carvings of well-known buildings.
