The State Museum is a great place to learn about Negri Sembilan’s Minangkabau culture. Tourism Malaysia
Negri Sembilan, which translates to “nine states”, might not always be the obvious holiday destination for many. Sandwiched between the more tourist-centric Klang Valley and Melaka, travellers might make a quick pit stop at Seremban to refuel.
But despite its size (Negri Sembilan is one of the smallest states in Malaysia), the state does have its fair share of attractions. Its proximity to the Klang Valley also makes it the perfect day trip option for city dwellers. Negri Sembilan is made even more unique thanks to its Minangkabau culture, brought by settlers from West Sumatra in the 15th century.
