Visiting this very small, but very rich country and seeing this museum shows you how much wealth they have. A must visit and see the lives of the Sultans past and present! You will not be disappointed.

Our taxi driver suggested visiting the museum, so he took us there. You have to leave your shoes outside on a shelf, wear socks if you don’t want to walk barefoot. It was 5 Brunei dollars each. They give you a key to a locker to put your bag in and return the key when you are leaving.

You are allowed to take photos, but no videos. The section with the replica of the throne no photos allowed, it is guarded by army officers.

It is a fascinating insight to the Sultans life and his years studying at Sandhurst Military Academy up in the UK and travelling around the world.

There are lots of gifts given to him by other countries which are fascinating.

The museum is very clean, worth a visit. It wasn’t busy when we went, there is a car park opposite if you are driving, not expensive to park.

Worth a visit. The Royal Regalia Museum provides a glimpse of Brunei’s royalty. The building has a beautiful dome. You must leave your shoes on a rack outside before entering and leave your bag in a locker.
