A visit to Galeria Time Tunnel

Do you enjoy strolling to the past? Remembering events and places from your childhood is like looking into a foggy mirror. It brings back some good old memories. Galeria Time Tunnel is located between Equatorial Hotel and Brinchang Town. The museum occupies a basement within Kok Lim Strawberry Farm. It shares with some souvenir shops in the same building.
It is one of the main attractions of the Cameron Highlands. It was our third visit to this place.
The entrance ticket : RM5.00 for adult and RM2.00 for children below 12 years old. Kid below 5 years old is free. Opening hours is from 9 am – 6 pm.
Girls, take a peek into the past of Cameron Highlands through photographs.
We visited this local museum on 10.6.2012. This private gallery was opened in 2007. We realised this place through internet. 
Old-fashioned Chinese thermos flask. Dad and mom like this traditionally styled kitchen.
An old kitchen type which complete with woks, charcoal stove and tin cans.
Instead of displaying the usual items with historical values. visitors will find plenty of antiques that bring you a sense of nostalgia. 
Inside the Galleria Time Tunnel, you will be able to find a lot of collective items that reminds us of our childhood. 
Girls, it bring back old memories of dad and mom's school days.Do you see that? An old school briefcase on the table.

  3. Hi Jane, I went there too recently. Certainly felt as if transported to another era! Loved it, but sadly it looked a little abandoned during weekdays. Hopefully it will stay for the next and next generations. If I have kids someday, I'll certainly bring them there :)
