Grand Palace

Grand Palace is the royal palace of the Sultan of Johor which is located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. In the city of Johor Bahru, the palace was built in 1866 by Sultan Abu Bakar. The palace overlooks the Straits of Johor. The Grand Palace's most distinctive feature is its Anglo-Malay architecture, characterised by its dome of Malay design contrasted with its blue roof of Anglo influence. 

In the 1990s, the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Iskandar decided to convert the Grand Palace into a museum for the public to view the Royal Family's collection which is Sultan Abu Bakar Museum. The collections here provide a wealth of information on the interest and lives of the Johor Sultanate. Sultan Iskandar officially opened the museum on 11 May 1990. The Grand Palace is still being occasionally used for state and royal ceremonies.
