Muzium Sultan Alam Shah is the state museum of Selangor and is located in the Shah Alam city centre, Section 14. The architect/designer is Dato' Dr Hj Baharuddin bin Abu Kassim and construction was in 1988.
The Museum building is part of the Civic Centre of this state capital of Selangor, and is linked to the Theatrette with its very distinctive traditional Bugis style roof.
Exhibits in the galleries are of artifacts related to the history of the Selangor, the Sultanate, replicas of royal regalia and significant events. There is a Natural History section as well.

| Entrance Forecourt into the Museum (CNB 2013) |
I have visited the Museum a few times, getting 'lost' in the three gallery floors. The exit is at the back of the building, so you do have to go around it to get back to the entrance forecourt. But it is rather worth it because you will be rewarded with the sight of a lake and the magnificent Blue Mosque.
Note: The State Library (Raja Tun Uda Library) was moved from being next door to this Museum to a new site. I wrote a post about the State Library on 12.12.12.
