Collection gathering consists of several kinds, such as textiles, weapons, technological and metallic devices, self-enhancement, musical instruments etc. The finest and most difficult to obtain collections are gathered from countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia/Vietnam, South Africa, Madagascar as well as other parts of the world included in the Malay World. The unique and fascinating Polynesian collections are now stored at the Department of Museums Malaysia.
