Mulaut Primary School Visits Brunei Museum
By Aemy Azlena
Bandar Seri Begawan - Twenty four MulautPrimary School students went on an educational visit to the BruneiMuseum in Kota Batu yesterday led by teachers Hjh Hartini Hj Zinin and Ernie Erwana Mohd Erman.
The visit taught them about Brunei`s rich history and linked new facts to their studies.
"This is the first time for these children to visit the museum," said Hjh Hartini Hj Zinin.
Two museum staff from the education services section, Hjh Rudiah Ibrahim and Dyg .laliah Hj Ahmad guided the group.
Brunei`s largest museum lies three kilometres from the capital. It houses historical artefacts including natural history, a large collection of elaborately gilded Holy Qurans, centuries-old porcelain, ceramics and jade, Islamic artefacts, and exhibits on Brunei`s oil development and discovery.
The visitors also walked down a small path behind the museum to go to the MalayTechnologyMuseum, a redroo fed building along the banks of the Brunei river.
The MalayTechnologyMuseum offers an insight into the techniques and traditional technological tools of the Brunei Malay.
Some of the featured exhibits include handicraft development, traditional boat making, goldsmithing and metal-working techniques, architecture, fishing, mock ups of longhouses and traditional buildings
