Brunei: The Royal Regalia Building

I have received my first mail from Brunei, 3 very nice postcards, and this is first of them.

The building, originally "Churchill's Museum", which had been established by the father of present Sultan of Brunei as he admired Winston Churchill, was replaced in late 1992 by the Royal Regalia Exhibition Hall. It was established to celebrate the 1992 Silver Jubilee of the Sultan's coronation as the king of Brunei. A historical review of the present Sultan's life is narrated through family pictures with detailed narrative texts in which the Sultan is highlighted through many of his portraits and a hologram.

Stamps:
Large Scale Rice Planting, issued on 11.01.2011.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, issued on 09.10.1996.


Thank you Alicia!
