This book was inspired by the Art Show: Music, Arts, Education and Unity programme, first introduced by the Music Museum in 2023 as an innovative initiative to promote the role, functions and significance of museums to the public. The programme serves as a platform that connects diverse artistic disciplines, education and community engagement through a creative and inclusive approach.

This book is a unique and exclusive documentary volume published in conjunction with the landmark taxidermy exhibition organized by the Department of Museums Malaysia. It compiles a meticulously selected collection of animal specimens preserved through the art of taxidermy, beautifully bridging the gap between science, art, and wildlife conservation.

This book is a highly valuable documentary work that presents the vast landscape (saujana) and exquisite artistry of the traditional attire of the Malay community in Peninsular Malaysia. Published by the Department of Museums Malaysia, this volume serves as an authoritative reference that records the history, evolution, and philosophy of Malay dress from the era of the Malay sultanates through to the modern age.

This book is an exclusive documentary masterpiece that elevates the prestige of the destar—traditionally known as the tanjak, tengkolok, or Malay headgear—as a paramount symbol of Malaysia's rich cultural heritage, identity, and sovereignty.
