The Malaysia Youth Museum is in Malacca City, Malacca. It is dedicated to the youth of Malaysia and their contributions to the economy and society at local, national, and international levels.[1]

The building was once part of the Dutch Administrative Complex during Dutch Malacca.[2][3] Later, it became a post office and then an Anglo-Chinese School in 1931. It was finally turned into the museum, which was officially opened by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on 15 April 1992.[4][5]
