Raja Kita Exhibition

After lunch with my cousin and her family on Deepavali (Tuesday, November 13, 2012), we headed to Istana Negara Lama.  I've never been there before. 



Didn't know there is an exhibition until we reached there.
  The admission fee is RM2 per person for adult.
Took over fifty photos while I was there :) Too many to put up here so here are some...
