Istana Batu Royal Museum in Kota Bharu

See how the Royals live in Kota Bharu. You can go check out Istana Batu Royal Museum, see period rooms, piles of gifts. The historic building was erected in 1939 by Sultan Yahya Petra as a gift to his bride Raja Perumpuan Zainab II. Baby, let's play house.

They did, raising generations in the place until vacating in 1960. No dishwasher, no A/C, no place to live. By 1991, it was turned into a museum.

Entrance.


Big dining room. Small bedroom.

Another bedroom, with royal trappings.


Gifts, toys for boys. The military doesn't bring kitchen mixers when they come calling.

Family history on the wall.
