We visited the Paddy (Rice) Museum or "Muzium Padi" at Gunung Keriang, 8 Km north of Alor Star, Kedah, Malaysia on the 4th day of the lunar new year, i.e. Feb 17, 2010.
The building is structured after 'gemai padi' and looks like a bundle of paddy stalks. This museum exhibits materials and item related to paddy that include the culture, research and development as well as the extension of paddy technology. It covers an area of 12,000 square meters and has three levels.
The main attraction of this museum is its 360 degree circular mural or wall art painting. It is amazing painting by 60 artists from North Korea at the cost of RM 11 million.
The jewel of the museum showcases the 40-seat revolving platform with magnificent 103 meters length by 8 meters height panoramic mural or wall painting. It is said to be the biggest and the most beautiful mural in Malaysia.Entrance Fee per Head: Adult: RM 3 Children: RM 1 School tour group: RM 1 Camera: RM 2
