This museum is located on the fourth floor of the building
housing the People's Museum in Jalan Kota, Bandar Hilir, Melaka. The museum was
officially opened by the Chief Minister of Melaka in September 1995 in
conjunction with the 'Regional Malay Customs' seminar.
The museum explicates how, since its invention, the kite has
served Man as a means of long distance communication, a weapon of war, a sport
and as a leisure activity. The museum also displays how kites are made in
various countries, the different materials they are made with, and the role
kites play in the cultural life of the people of those countries.
The museum displays kites, traditional and modern, of
different shapes and sizes, from many different parts of the world. The
Nusantra Wau is also on display.
The Museum of Kites is a must for all and not
just kite lovers, as the museum reveals the important role that kites have
played in Man's progress.
