Telekom Museum
This neo-classical Greek building was originally constructed to accommodate the Central Battery Manual Telephone Exchange in 1928. By 1985 there were plans to replace the Exchange with a 26 storey office complex (the fate of so many other early buildings), but the Prime Minister stepped in and allowed RM10million worth of restoration to create the country's first interactive museum. Apart from the mandatory cafe, the museum caters to school groups, with an education room, archives and resource centre.
The museum traces 120 years of telecommunication development, and heck, if the Prime Minister thought it was so important, who are we to disagree?
