Malaysian Armed Forces Museum is located in the vicinity of the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) complex at Jalan Padang Tembak.
The Malaysian Armed Forces Museum was established in 1985 to develop and maintain a national collection of historical material pertaining to Malaysian military history from 1933 to the present.
It has always been the Armed Forces' aspiration to set up an Armed Forces Museum since the early 1950s. However, the collection of artifacts for the museum only began in 1961 at the encouragement of General Tunku Osman Tunku Mohd Jewa.

Five galleries are devoted to specific areas designated for the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. It now houses an interesting collection of artifacts from World War II, the Communist Insurgency and Indonesian Confrontation. Military technology, heraldry and achievements of military commanders are among the exhibits displayed at the museum.
Here, the visitor will be able to catch a glimpse of Malaysia's military exhibits such as historical pictures, uniforms and decorations of the Malaysian armed forces, the Malaysian armory, naval guns, artillery, old canons, military aircraft and vehicles.
