JakaBut the market place with stalls selling gem stones are worth buying from. Friends say they bought genuine stones at very good prices. I didn’t buy any.

A really interesting museum to visit, it will occupy probably half a day, with half of that spent on looking at all those jade, gems, and other stone – and the other on shopping for them. The cost of the ticket which I forget is well worth it. You will need to place your belongings in a locker, understandably, before entering the museum. The jade and precious stones are a wonder to behold. There are English speaker assistants around to explain to you the display but if you are in a hurry it can become a hindrance but if you have time it’s really best to learn from them. You can’t take pictures in the museum! Equally awesome is the shopping part. You can spend anywhere from 1USD to 100USD to 1000USD depending on what you buy. I usually buy the USD1 jade bracelets or the tigers eye for I think 3 for USD5. You can buy elephant figurines too in jade! Pay in USD because you get a better price. Best to buy whatever you want and to as much your budget will allow – squeeze every dollar, you will regret it if you don’t! Enjoy!

a month agoIt is a place that every Myanmar citizen should visit. I especially want the children to follow. It is a place where you can find a lot of knowledge in one place. Here, the history of the Burmese dynasties and the Buddhist cultural heritage and scientific knowledge for children are presented. Another gallery is a very interesting car showroom used by successive Myanmar presidents. Another satisfying thing is the museum staff. No matter which gallery you visit, the staff will make sure to show you what you want to remember.2 years agoI had visited the museum in the year 2016, it was very impressive museum in Myanmar. The exhibition galleries were great design and the collections display were magnificent. I was really enjoy my museum day that I had been a lot of learning about Myanmar history and culture.4 years agoAgain, with everything being so relatively cheap, the money you will pay to get into the museum is so worth it. A large complex of interconnected buildings, airconditioned, comprise the museum. They are categorised chronologically, charting the history of Myanmar. The exhibits are very, very well made and a surprise for me based on my expectations. The have large scale models of temples, full sized models of their warriors clad in their traditional attire, they have a room where all the gold attire and vestments and ancillary items of their past Kings are displayed majestically. They have halls for their musical and even geographic history – it can take a full half day to explore it with any meaning. The exhibits are annotated in English. The building itself is has beautiful craftsmanship, especially the ornate huge doors. You can learn so much about the greatness of Myanmar here. Overall, a very impressive and convenient way to learn about the history and culture of Myanmar.6 years agoLove the stone age and bronze collection. Modern art collection feature a very unique painting style. Worth a visit.4 years agoWorld class museum, very very large with numerous sections covering arts, history from prehistoric man to all the tribes and languages and cultures of the people. The fossils section is a paleo treat with the oldest primates in the World. There are some interactive exhibits and a ASEAN section recently opened. The museum is continually expanding and I will definitely visit again, for tourists it is not only an attraction but helps visitors understand the country with maps revealing many of the hidden treasures and secrets of this magical country. The building itself is also very grand with impressive decor and design.
