I decided to visit Maritime Museum which located in Quayside Street, 75000 Melacca.

To be honest, this museum is very awesome. But I'm very sorry, because this museum is going to close, so I don't have much time to explore it :( But overall, if I come back into Kuala Lumpur again, I'll make special time to explore every detail of this museum :)
