Keris in museums in KL?

Central Market in KL also worth to see.... Mostly souvenirs, but at least there are three antique shops, sometimes you will find old sumatran kerises to sell....

Thanks Marcus
I have just returned from Kuala Lumpur. I also found two other public displays of keris in KL, one is at the house of a former prime minister Tun Abdul Razak, (unfortunately the blades are in their sheaths) and there is quite a large display at the Islamic Arts Museum of Malaysia (this also has a wide range of other arms and armour on display). I will post some photos from both collections in the next week or so
cheers
David
