KOTA KINABALU: Two museums – in Kudat and Ranau respectively - are currently being developed as an addition to the existing 11 museums and galleries in Sabah.
The new facilities are Tun Mustapha Museum (in Kudat) and Ranau Dusun Civilisation and Ethnic Heritage Museum, said Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Assistant Minister Datuk Pang Yuk Ming during the question and answer session at the state assembly sitting here.
In response to Datuk Mohamad Alamin's (BN-Bongawan) question on possibility of building mini museums in each district, he said there is no such plans at this moment.
"The development of these two new museums will boost research, documentation and publication fields to uplift the functions of museums as knowledge building institution in the form of exhibition, collection, history, culture as well as nature besides becoming a tourist attraction at that area.
“While we have no immediate plans for mini museums, my ministry via Sabah Museum Department welcomes any initiative by any communities in Sabah that wished to create their own museums in respective districts,” he said.
