Abstract :
This paper discusses findings from a study of the educational heritage organized by the National Museum of Malaysia and the specific register used in its particular programme to cope with various levels of age and social category of the Malaysian society. Education programmes were carried out directly and indirectly. Directly means they are implemented through educational heritage programmes which were planned and arranged particularly for visitors, and through regular as well as ad hoc exhibitions. All of these activities would indirectly convey knowledge on heritage to the visitors. Data were taken from literature studies, direct observation and random interviews. This study found that the use of register should be based on visitors’ social settings, lifestyles and characteristics including ethnic background, age and socio-economic status.
