The Malay Heritage Centre ((マレー語:Taman Warisan Melayu); Jawi: ; Chinese: ) is a cultural centre and museum in Singapore that showcases the culture, heritage and history of Malay Singaporeans. Located at Sultan Gate in Kampong Glam, the centre was launched on 27 November 2004. The building was once the Istana Kampong Glam (or the Sultan's Palace), and was part of a larger original compound that led to the Beach Road frontage. Sultan Gate has been known as such since the 1950s. The Malay Heritage Foundation, formed in 28 July 1999, embarked on a major restoration project of the Istana Kampong Glam that year. The building reopened as the Malay Heritage Centre in 2004 after construction works were completed. On the grounds of the Malay Heritage Centre are ''Gelam'' trees, a replica of a Bugis ''prahu'' boat, the Pinisi, and information markers on the history of the Bugis people and their trade. The centre itself preserves and showcases Malay culture and heritage in Singapore through historic artefacts, multimedia and diorama displays, and exhibits. The centre also organizes Malay cultural programmes and workshops. Before 2008 these, together with other fund-raising activities, contributed two-thirds of the centre's operational costs. In 2008, the Government of Singapore announced that it would provide full funding of S$1.7 million a year to the Centre, instead of just the one-third funding provided in previous years. The funding, and additional aid from the National Heritage Board, is expected to give the centre a boost to become a museum of international standard, and create opportunities for it to work with other top regional museums in Indonesia and Malaysia. In August 2011 the Malay Heritage Centre was closed for extensive renovations. It reopened on 1 September 2012. ==Gallery== File:Malay Heritage Centre, Istana Kampong Glam 3, Dec 05.JPG|Istana Kampong Glam at the Malay Heritage Centre File:Malay Heritage Centre, Istana Kampong Glam, Dec 05.JPG|Istana Kampong Glam File:Malay Heritage Centre, Istana Kampong Glam 2, Dec 05.JPG|Istana Kampong Glam File:Malay Heritage Centre, Istana Kampong Glam 4, Dec 05.JPG|Istana Kampong Glam File:Istana kampong glam malay heritage centre june 2009.jpg|Istana Kampong Glam with fountain at the Malay Heritage Centre File:Malay Heritage Centre, Istana Kampong Glam 5, Dec 05.JPG|''Perahu'' Bugis (Pinisi) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malay Heritage Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
