This glorious wooden stilt house, which was once the family home of a village headman in Kedah, was built in stages between 1910 and the 1930s and later moved to KL. Interesting tours of the property provide an explanation of the house's architecture and history and of Malay customs and traditional village life. You can wander around outside of the guided tour times (Tuesday to Saturday, 11am and 3pm) and since it's built with ventilation in mind, you can easily look in.
Check out the stunning hand-carved canoe under the house. The boat was used in religious ceremonies in Kelantan and has the head of a fantastic-looking bird carved into the prow.
Find it in the grounds of Badan Warisan Malaysia.
