The Brunei Museum (Malay: Muzium Brunei) is the national museum of Brunei. It is located in Kota Batu in the capital Bandar Seri Begawan. The museum has exhibits of Islamic art, historical period of the 16th century and archaeology and ethnography.[1] It is the largest museum in Brunei.[2] The museum has been closed since 2014 for repairs and upgrade, and was expected to reopen in 2020, but remains closed in 2022.

The museum published the first Brunei Museum Journal, an academic journal in 1969, which is an annual feature now.[3]
