The Architectural Museum is still in its planning stages. It will be located in a building erected during the Dutch colonial period. The building has been reinstated to its original state by the Department of Museums and Antiquities in the year 2000.

As acknowledged publicly, Melaka is the Museum State. There are 15 museums, each with different functions, among them The Museum of History and Ethnography, The Beauty Museum, Youth Museum, The Museum of Indigenous People, The Alor Gajah Museum and Jasin Museum. All these museums will be under the management of PERZIM (Perbadanan Muzium Melaka/Museum Body of Melaka). An added tourism product will emerge with the construction of the Museum of Architecture. This yet to be completed museum is under the supervision of the Department of Museums Malaysia.

It will exhibit various matters pertaining to architecture such as the philosophy and concept of architecture, construction materials like the Dutch, Chinese and Portuguese concretes and the Kayu Berlian Roof. Models of selected buildings in Malaysia will also be on display.
