The Paddy Museum in Alor Setar is a one-of-a-kind institution housed in a building designed to resemble a rice stalk, celebrating the central role of paddy farming in Malaysian life. Visitors explore interactive exhibits on traditional planting and harvesting techniques, view dioramas of rural life, and learn about the rice production process from field to table.
