Royal Selangor Visitor Centre

Malaysian pewter is acclaimed internationally for its exquisite craftsmanship. Royal Selangor is the world's largest pewter company, renowned for its innovative design and craftsmanship to create objects of desire in precious pewter. In the days of Royal Selangor's founder, pewter was polished with a stone leaf (tetracera scandens), a wild tropical leaf of a fine, abrasive nature.

In recognition of its quality, Royal Selangor received a royal warrant from His Royal Highness, the Sultan of Selangor, who conferred the manufacturer the title of "Royal Pewter".

Visitors to the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre can try their hand at shaping (or knocking) the pewter set aside at the School of Hard Knocks. This is a hands-on attempt at making your very own treasured pewter, so make every knock count! 

A popular attraction at the site is the giant tankard, the world's largest and listed in the Malaysian book of records and the Guinness World Book of Records. The giant tankard stands at 1.987 metres tall, weighs 1, 557 kg and has a capacity of 2,796 litres. It has travelled round the world to places such as Canada, Australia, Singapore and China.

To further excite your senses, there are interactive exhibits at the Chamber of Chimes, Hall of Finishes and Giant Weighing Scale. Computer buffs may want to check out the Game Port that has specially designed games.
