For Suryani Senja Alias , the work of Puan Azah Aziz remains an important reference for understanding our local dress and textiles.
Through works such as Rupa dan Gaya Busana Melayu, Puan Azah Aziz documented not only what people wore, but also the knowledge, customs and cultural meaning woven into Malay textiles and dress. Uniquely linked to classical Malay literature, her research offers a deeper understanding of how textiles reflect our culture, identity and way of life.
Discover how her work continues to inspire the stories being brought to life at Merdeka Textile Museum.
Heading to Gapai Merdeka from 29–31 August? Make Merdeka Textile Museum part of your visit and discover more of our heritage and stories within the Merdeka 118 precinct.
Merdeka Textile Museum is now open. Book your complimentary visit via Muzium Tekstil Merdeka on Instagram or merdekatextile.com. Entry is by booking only, with limited slots available.
