Petroleum Museum Sarawak is located on a hilltop overlooking Miri town called Canada Hill or Bukit Tenaga.

The main attraction here is Miri's first oil well, nicknamed The Grand Old Lady which struck oil on 22nd December 1910. The oil derrick and 'nodding donkey' are located in front of the museum and form the centrepiece of an outdoor display featuring a historical timeline of Sarawak's oil industry.

The museum itself is a modern design, completed in 2005. Being partially financed by Petronas, Malaysia's giant oil company, it bears some similarity to the Petrosains Museum in KLCC in Kuala Lumpur, though not quite of the same high standard.

One of the more popular exhibits is the earthquake simulator where you sit inside a Perodua car while it gets jolted and shaken up like it would in a real earthquake. Having lived through a major earthquake myself it brought back unpleasant memories.

Most of the other exhibits are of the static sort rather than fun or interactive but are informative all the same.

Review Verdict

Good place to get a bird's eye view of Miri. You can see offshore oil rigs and oil supply vessels from here.

This is an interesting museum for geology students or those wanting information on the history of oil exploration in Sarawak. Since it's free and there's not a great deal else to see in Miri, it should be on most tourists' itineraries.

Opening Hours and Admission Fee

Visiting Hours are as follows:

Tuesday - Friday from 9am to 4.45pm

(Fridays closed for prayers from 11.45am to 2.15pm)

Saturday & Sunday from 10am to 4pm

Mondays and 1st Day of Public Holidays Closed

Admission is free.

How to Get to Petroleum Museum Sarawak

I walked to the museum from the town centre via Jalan Oil Well No.1. It's 15 - 20 minutes uphill walk. It was rather sweaty and I was looking forward to cooling off inside the museum, only to be told that the air-conditioning was not working!

Address: Canada Hill, Jalan Oil Well No. 1, 98000 Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia

I have marked the exact location on the map on my Top Sarawak Attractions page.

Use toilet paper tubes or plastic cups with the bottoms cut off for this math idea. Attach the cups or tubes as shown to a piece of cardboard, then drop small items (like bottlecaps or pompoms) through and count them as you go!

nip cardboard tubes into shorter lengths (paint them bright colors first, if you like). Then number them 1 to 10 or more. Have kids string them onto a length of yarn in the correct order. Try this activity for skip counting too.

Gather a variety of bottles and cans in different sizes, then equip students with measuring tapes so they can determine the circumference. (Yarn and rulers will work too.) Older students can work on figuring out the diameter or radius, and even check their results by cutting the container in half to measure it that way too.

Plastic bottle bowling pins are perfect for recycled math activities! For a basic game, kids set up 10 pins and roll the ball. Then they subtract the number they knock down from 10. Expand the learning by having kids graph their results, figure out their average scores, or use rulers to measure how far the pins go flying.
