The list with some remarks is below. My own comments, only applicable to cities I’ve been to, are in brackets.
- National Museum of Cambodia, Phnom Penh - completes knowledge of Angkor Wat. (No comment).
- National Museum of Singapore - fresh modern approach and history back to 14th century. (Hah, I beg to differ. When I last visited about 10 years ago, the period between 14th century and 1824 was a blank. Anyway, the Asian Civilizations Museum at Empress Place is a much better choice).
- Sarawak Museum, Kuching - arguably Malaysia's best museum. (I don't want to argue but it's a good museum).
- Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, Hanoi - most comprehensive museum. (No comment).
- Islamic Arts Museum, KL - works from Persia & Middle East to China and India. (I enjoyed visiting this museum very much).
- Royal Palace Museum, Luang Prabang, Laos - formerly a royal residence. (No comment).
- Sono-Budoyo Museum, Yogyakarta - country's most complete museum. (I also enjoyed visiting this museum very much).
- Natural History Museum, London - botany to zoology. (I've never been here but I enjoyed my visit to the British Museum. I practically spent a whole day there).
- Hall of Opium, Chiang Saen, Thailand. (No comment).
- National Palace Museum, Taipei - on par with Lourve & MOMA and features Chinese architects. (No comment).
