The Admiral Cheng Ho Gallery was inspired from the legendary
Admiral Cheng Ho (Zheng Ho), China’s distinguished sea admiral. He was born in 1371 at Hodai, a village in
Bao San province of Yunan. His birth
name was Ma Ho and his other name was San Bao.
The gallery showcases the Admiral’s journey to the Southern
sea and his great feat in international relations where he established China’s
great affiliation with the African and Asia countries leading to a prosperous
and fair trading amongst them.
The location of this gallery is near the right facade of the
Stadthuys building (The Museum of History & Ethnography) and in between the
Literature Museum and the Democratic Government Museum. Among its main exhibits are porcelains, ship
replicas, collection of books about Admiral Cheng Ho’s life and adventures and
some related articles about him.
This gallery was open for the public on February 2003
alongside the opening of the Museum of History & Ethnography and the
reopening of Malaysian Youth Museum.
