Reflection:
For the trip, I feel that the Sultan Abu Bakar museum is a place where I learnt many things like the ruling of Johore and Malaysia in the past and that a Keris which is a type of small sword that represents power. The Keris is worn around a belt and is passed down the generations of the Malay family. The museum was once the residence of the first and the second Sultan of Johore. The third Sultan of Johore found that the residence was too small for him thus he moved away. The museum is opened to public in May 11 ,1990 by the current Sultan Iskandar. The museum houses treasures like: works of art, antiquities and furniture belonging to the Royal Family. I feel that the trip to Malaysia is an enriching and interesting one.

Royal Abu Bakar Museum
Agriculture type/industry and characteristic: A very big and wealthy place, not even modern people could affort it. A place which the sultan live in and do peace treaty talks with the foreigners. They also trade goods there.
The grand building is an architectural wonder and was completed in 1866. It was commissioned by His Royal Highness Sultan Abu Bakar who laid the foundation stone in 1864.
It was commissioned by His Royal Highness Sultan Abu Bakar and is also known as the Grand Palace (Istana Besar Johor).
Built in the Renaissance style, built by local artisans under the supervision of an European architect. It is one of the oldest buildings in Johor, it has a cosmopolitan architecture with clear Anglo-Malay influence. The original furniture of the palace was made in England and ordered by Sultan Abu Bakar in 1866.
The palace became the Royal Abu Bakar Museum in 1982, but today, it is still used for state ceremonies and official functions.
In the early 1990s, Johor's present ruler, His Majesty Sultan Iskandar, decided that members of the public should be given the opportunity to view the Royal Family's collection in a proper museum setting. His Majesty consented for the Grand Palace to be converted into a museum but concurrently it still serves the traditional royal and state ceremonial functions. Sultan Iskandar officially declared the museum open on May 11, 1990.
Acclaimed as one of the best museums found in the world, it houses vast arrays of treasures, works of art, antiquities and furniture belonging to the Royal Family. The picture gallery features past and present rulers of the Sultanate and their consorts. There is a large collection of their personal memorabilia, an impressive array of Orders, Decorations and Medals in the gallery.
Other rooms within the Grand Palace display silverware, crystal ware, gold and silver jewellery, priceless vases, furniture, traditional Malay weapons, the State Regalia, a numismatic collection, silver trophies and other treasures like 19th-century currencies and gold coins, the first Johor postal stamps and Chinese pottery. Royal ceremonies, functions and investitures are also held in the magnificent chambers reflecting the royal family's affluent lifestyle.
Among the exhibits which will awed visitors at this royal museum are the Chinese and Malay carved wooden pieces. The Throne Room and Museum is located on the North Wing and all royal events, state banquets and receptions are held at this palace. The Palace Gardens situated nearby has a marvellous sprawling landscaped Japanese garden with a variety of flowers and plants.
