Take a comprehensive and informative guided tour of the museum, see the clubhouse history brought to life through dioramas, photos, and period artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries, and learn about the tin mining process.

This is an excellent guided tour of the history of tin mining in Ipoh and the club of the mine owners. It's free to visit, however the suggested donation is worth every cent. Please go to the website to make a reservation to plan your visit.
