History
After the Jubilee Hall and Pansodan Street, the museum has finally come to rest at a grand 4 floored building on Pyay Road. One of the most loved things to do in Yangon; this museum attracts history lovers from all over Myanmar and abroad.
Going in
Ancient artefacts, art, and historic relics are spread around 14 halls in the first 4 floors, while 3 more halls on the ground floor exhibit the evolution of the Myanmar language. The second floor lets you go indulge in the Myanmar culture, its music, songs, and dance. On the third floor are the ancient paintings, cherished jewellery, and ornaments. The topmost floor is filled with Buddha images, covering the ethnicity of Myanmar, including their national dresses and artefacts.
When to go
The museum is open from 10am to 4pm every day, except during the Thingyan festival in April.

Stone’s throws away from the museum are the Shwedagon Pagoda, Sen Gay Har Super Market, the People’s Square and People’s Park. When staying in a hotel close to the city, for example, at the Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake, Yangon these attractions are easily accessible.
