| Bangunan Sultan Suleiman, Klang (CNB 2013) |
On Saturday (05/01/13), A and I went to Klang, to the Sultan Suleiman Building which now houses the Galeri Diraja Sultan Abdul Aziz (The Royal Gallery). This building was designed by architect A. B. Hubback, strictly in the Western classical style.
It was built in 1909/1910, for the Klang District Office's Land Office, the Town Board and Public Works Department. From 1973-75 it was the Police Contingent Building. After some conservation works by the Klang Town Council in 1987 and the last tenant (the Legal Department) moved out, the State Museum took over and set up the Royal Gallery.
The rather interesting and informative Royal Gallery gives visitors a glimpse of 'Selangor's unique rich royal heritage and legacy'. 'The Royal Collections consists of magnificent personal collections of artifacts and gifts covering the period of the reign of the late Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah. Included in the exhibition are replicas of Selangor's crown jewels'.
