Brunei Energy Hub Dermaga Diraja (Malay: Hab Tenaga Brunei Dermaga Diraja) or Brunei Energy Hub in short, is a gallery and museum located in Pusat Bandar of Bandar Seri Begawan. It was originally initiated in 1952 and completed in 1956 as the Royal Customs and Excise Building,[1] a wharf for administrative purposes. Over time, its function has evolved to showcase historical and economic significance of Brunei's energy sector while preserving its blend of colonial and constructivist architectural styles.[2]

The renovation project, which was entirely sponsored by Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP), has been transformed into Brunei–Muara District's interactive oil and gas museum. It is located alongside the Dermaga Diraja (Royal Wharf) and has the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha Bridge as a backdrop, seeks to act as a knowledge centre for the oil and gas sector and a venue to encourage the growth of Brunei's artistic scene.[1]
