The idea of establishing an Army museum was initiated in 1989. However, with the economic downfall and with the demand of Independence Memorial in Kuala Lumpur, the idea took a back seat. Later on, in 1999, the army began to take this idea seriously and realized that the establishment of a museum is necessary to preserve the struggling history of the Army base. Located near an Army base in Port Dickson, the Committee of the Association of the Army Museum was finally founded in 2000. It took nearly four years to complete the construction. Today, the museum houses two old army buildings, 9 galleries and a number of outdoor exhibitions. Visit the galleries where you get to see the history of the army dating back to the 16th century till the present time. Another remarkable gallery of the museum focuses on Japanese invasion, occupation and showcase interesting items belonging to that particular period.

In the outside region, you get to see steam locomotives, many military aircrafts, helicopters, armoured vehicles and numerous filled guns and artillery pieces.
