The Cultural Handicraft Complex was set up to preserve Negeri Sembilan's rich culture and heritage.
The complex is housed in a building fashioned after a traditional Negeri home. The culture of the Negeri people bears a strong resemblance to the Minangkabau culture of Sumatra, just across the Straits of Melaka. The most visible identity of this matrilineal culture are the traditional roofs of village houses and even state buildings. The roofs are swooped and rise to a sharp point on either end of the house, symbolising a water buffalo's horns. Buffalos are historically not only beasts of burden but also signs of wealth.
The elaborate handicrafts on display and on sale within this Minangkabau-themed cultural complex greatly reflect Negeri Sembilan's history and heritage.
Key Tips
The crafts at the Handicraft Complex are often made on site.
