I was looking through our photo albums of the Brunei trips made in 2003 and 2006 and remember the local produce market, the Tamu Kianggeh in Bandar Seri Begawan. Situated at the Jalan Sungai Kianggeh by the river bank, this tamu started in the early 60s, when the area was the convenient landing place for Kampung Ayer (water village) folks to come to town. I read in an article in The Brunei Times (Sojourn at Tamu Kianggeh, 20/2/11) that "... Tamu Kianggeh still looks and feels very much like what it did in the olden days. ...". For me, markets (more than museums?) are the best places to start when visiting a new country.
