Corporate Information on Asian Heritage Museum Sdn. Bhd.

Asian Heritage Museum Sdn Bhd (AHM) is a special museum services’ company incorporated in Malaysia recently to develop, set up, manage and operate a world-class Asia Pacific Heritage Museum to exhibit and display in an interesting and meaningful manner, a large and diverse collection of Asian and geological artifacts.

The government-supported museum project, to be located at a suitable venue in Kuala Lumpur, has high CSR value of promoting multiculturalism, regional heritage and regional peace and understanding. The museum is expected to commence operations sometime in 2014.

It is a story-based museum, with 7 diverse galleries so far, using video and other multimedia to complement the unique artefacts and tell the stories in an interesting manner. It is also a research & discovery museum with periodic announcements of new information about the artefacts being uncovered. Therefore, it would be able to attract large crowds of foreign and local visitors. It would be entertaining yet educational to tell interesting historical stories and events.

The future plan is to expand the project into an Asian Heritage Village with the promotion of other heritage items that Asia is famous for such as martial arts, food, fashion & costumes, arts & crafts and music & dances.

A strong CSR case for the museum in promoting Asean integration, economic or otherwise, can be found in the article (from The Sun enclosed) entitled: "Asean - the case for cultural heritage."

There is so far, no such Asian or regional museum anywhere in the world that is so unique, diverse and innovative and using video/multimedia to tell interesting global stories. The closest comparison of a world-class story-based museum would be the Imperial War Museums of London and Salford and the Great War Museum in Paris. However, these museums only focus on the stories about the 2 world wars.
