The Royal Regalia Museum (Malay: Muzium Alat Kebesaran Diraja) is a museum located in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. Originally built as a monument in 1965, the museum had a makeover and expansion in 1992 that combined constructivist and Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) architectural elements. Originally constructed as a monument, Royal Regalia Building (Muzium Alat Kebesaran Diraja) later underwent a transition into a museum. The building, which still has some of its original features intact, currently houses historical antiques and royal regalia from Brunei, signifying the country's rich cultural legacy and royal customs.[2]
