The Lau King Howe Hospital Memorial Museum (Malay: Muzium Memorial Hospital Lau King Howe) is a museum in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia.
History
Lay King Howe Hospital was originally built in 1936 by Mr.Lau King Howe as the only hospital in Sibu. After the Sibu Hospital was opened on 1 September 1994, Lau's hospital began to attract less and less patients.[1] Eventually, the hospital buildings were demolished and the site converted into a commercial lot. A small museum named after the hospital at a cost of MYR450,000 was built near the original “entrance” to the hospital.. It was officially opened on 3 August 1996.[2]
Opening time
The museum opens everyday except Mondays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.[3]
