KARYANEKA , established in 1982, is a
handicraft centre supported by the Malaysian
government. Here you can find handicraft and
souvenirs produced by Malaysia's very own
craftsmen and small industry. Located at
Jalan Conlay (Conlay street) it is about a 10
minute walk for the Golden Triangle.

KARYANEKA has a wide selection of
handicraft items reflecting Malaysia's ethnic
and cultural heritage. The center sells
Malaysian handicraft including batik, rattan
baskets, blowpipes, woodcarvings and silver
craft items. There is also a Craft Museum
within the compound and individual craft huts
where you can watch craftsmen at work.
These craft huts are set in a working
environment to replicate the original
atmosphere of these craftsmen in the
villages, including the tools they use for their
creative art work. The effect is to recreate the
original atmosphere and setting to give
visitors the total experience, be it of songket
weaving, brass work, woodcarving, traditional
blacksmith, batik painting or pottery making.
Visitors can also try their hand at basket
weaving and batik painting.
If you haven't had the opportunity to
witness any Malaysian handicrafts or
shop for some Malaysia batik, make a
stop at Karyaneka.
