♥ Research for the Layang-layang Museum aka Kite Museum
The Kite Museum, located at the Pasir Gudang Recreational Park, was opened to the public on 9th February 2002 during the 7th Pasir Gudang International Kite Festival. It was opened as an appreciation towards the contribution of kite-flyers in Malaysia and Malaysian, as well as to preserve and promote the wau as part of the Malaysian craft heritage. It took RM4.5 million to build this museum.
It is the first kite museum in Malaysia and has a unique working windmill whose mechanism works to generate enough electricity to supply the daily needs of the museum. The museum is also the official site for the annual Pasir Gudang International kite Festival, attracting hundreds and thousands of visitors and kiting enthusiasts from all over the world. The festival usually takes place on the third week of February. Therefore, it becomes a tourist attraction for both local and foreign visitors
