Paddy Museum is the next interesting place in Malaysia that I go before this.This Paddy
Museum is the first of its kind in Malaysia, and the fourth to be opened in the world
after Japan, Germany and the Philippines. It is situated nearby Gunung Keriang at 8km
north of Alor Star,Kedah.
What interesting there?...Paddy Museum
features unique roof design that portrays
bushels of harvested rice stalks. Rice motifs are
repeated throughout the building, on
staircase banisters, the museum gates and the
fence surrounding it. Its spiral staircase
leads visitors to the top most portion that offers a
spectacular bird's eye view of a
revolving wall galleries. The mural displays the stages of rice
cultivation from plugging,
planting, threshing and winnowing.
The museum showcases the paddy cultivation process in
Malaysia and displays all kinds of
tools and equipment which have been used in the trade over the years. Through beautiful
murals, the artwork of 60 artists from North Korea, the history of paddy cultivation in
Malaysia is revealed.
The museum is dedicated to the hardworking and simple paddy farmers, whose blood,
sweat and toil have contributed to the objective of achieving self-sufficiency in the rice
industry.
