New museum to spur Johor Baru

The opening of the first Chinese history museum here will help bring the city back to life and spur tourism.

Johor Baru Tiong Hua Association manager Eric Ku said besides conserving the culture of the Chinese in Johor, the museum would add to the variety of cultural attractions in the city that could draw tourists to the area.


Located at a 60-year-old building along Jalan Ibrahim in the heart of the city, the museum would feature a collection of artefacts related to the Cantonese, Hokkien, Hainanese, Hakka and Teochew clans, he said.
