About

Explore a virtual exhibition of Malaysian craftsmanship. A reflection of Malaysia’s cultural heritage, these crafts are preserved only through the lifelong commitment of its highly skilled craftsmen. Discover 100 masterworks by these national treasures through a 360° virtual gallery on mycraftmuseum.com.

From textile-making to woodcarving, each piece has high aesthetic value in terms of both form and iconography. References to the environment and nature showcase the cultures of various Malaysian communities.

The beauty of these crafts reflects the implicit knowledge of highly skilled craftsmen within Malaysian society. The stature and continued contributions of craftsmen in ensuring the sustainability of traditional crafts heritage are recognised when they are appointed Master Craftsmen and subsequently awarded the title of National Craftsman.
