The Museum is constructed after 'Flora De La Mar', the Portuguese ship that sank off the coast of Melaka in its way to Portugal. With its hull laden with invaluable treasures seized from Melaka, the ship was doomed from existence had it not for the efforts to revive its symbolic significance to Melaka's heritage. At the museum, visitor can get a closer look at Melaka from the famed Malay Sultanate of the 14th century to the Portuguese era, the Dutch era and the Bristish era. There are exhibits of foreign ships that had once called at the port of Melaka during the height of its maritime.
