From the outside, the place looks very modern, but upon entering, I was a bit disappointed to see that most of the interactive displays were not working.. It would be great if they could fix them soon.. The only highlight is the nice view of Miri City from the top..

Barely worth the Ringgit for the grab here and back. Learned some niche information about the process of finding and drilling for oil, but that’s about it. The exhibits are old and all the interactive features are all broken. The view overlooks the city and you can see the oil rigs in the distance.

Miri is widely recognized as one of Malaysia’s prominent Oil & Gas cities. With such a rich industrial heritage, I truly hope the relevant authorities will consider refurbishing and properly maintaining this museum (no admission tickets required).

Updating the exhibits with current and accurate information about the industry would greatly enhance the experience.

The museum has the potential to be an excellent educational hub and tourist attraction where visitors can discover fascinating insights into the history and development of the oil and gas sector. With a bit of revitalization, it could serve as a more engaging and informative destination for both locals and tourists alike.

A relatively small museum but with a lot of detailed information about oil and gas exploration, drilling, processing and uses of crude and LNG. Worth a visit if you have the time in Miri.

There is a museum on top of the hill. It is all about the history of the oil. It is interesting to be located at this place. I was quite surprised when I entered this building. It is because the entry fee was free; yes, you heard me. The entry fee is free. I thought the security guard would hold us, but they are just doing their own business. I am just walking in here and looking around. Whoa, I mean, this place is all about how to get petroleum, who the founder is, and what items are made out of oil. It is really interesting. The knowledge will become more concrete for those who are still studying and also for those who are interested in it. The stuff that I like the most is the model of the Petrol sea station. It is huge and gorgeous. I keep thinking about what will happen when the model falls off, but that answer will be forever unknown. This museum is quite lonely to me. It is because there are not too many people around. I was the only person walking around in here at that time. I love this museum so much. I definitely will visit again in the future.

Good history on wall panels. Several panels are faded due to age or sun. AIrcon is good relief from outdoors. Several interactive displays are not functional. The museum could be used to engage children and young adults into the industry but not in its current state.

tempat menarik, banyak ilmu bermanfaat dan menjadi kebanggaan negara kerana sejarah dan impak kepada malaysia.adalah wajar untuk setiap pengunjung dari luar dan dalam wajib datang ke sini tidak semestinya hanya pelajar sekolah atau persatuan pesara.

namun masih boleh ditambah baik dengan mempelbagaikan promosi dan aktiviti selingan menarik kepada pengunjung tidak semestinya hari tertentu sahaja

petugas kaunter yang setia berkhidmat dikaunter boleh ditambah baik dengan memberikan kemesraan kepada pelanggan yang datang dan memberikan sedikit info apa yang boleh dilawati disini sebagai penghargaan kepada mereka yang hadir berkunjung walaupun percuma.

terdapat prasarana kafeteria dan booth jualan namun sunyi tiada aktiviti urusniaga dan tidak diketahui masa operasi

harap dapat kekal beroperasi dan perkhidmatan semakin baik bukan hanya sekadar renovation bangunan sahaja 👍

On top of Canada Hill, building can be easily spotted and it is free entrance.
A lot of good information inside but sadly it was not maintained. Most of the wall posters and printed has faded. Interactive games not working else would be so much fun for the kids.
Unfortunate for Miri to be called Oiltown but no effort to take care of the museum.
