Handicraft Village and Craft Museum
Also known as "Balai Getam
Guri", the Handicraft Village
and Craft Museum is located
in
the heart of Kota Bharu's
cultural zone, within walking
distance from the Istana
Balai
Besar and Buluh Kubu Bazaar.
The Craft Museum houses many
fine examples of Kelantanese
craftsmanship.
A restaurant called "Balai
Sulur Gadung" is located on
the ground floor of the
building, where visitors can
savour some of Kelantan's
famous dishes.
The adjacent Handicraft
Village provides visitors the
chance to see just how these
crafts are
made. Demonstrations of
traditional embroidery,
songket weaving, batik
printing, silver work and
wood
carving are carried out by
skilled artisans. Their
products are also on sale at
the centre.
The museum is open from
8.30am–4.45pm daily (except
Fridays).
