★ ★ ★ ★ ★ + Stunning ground floor of the original golden Lion throne showroom from Mandalay. Third floor golden jewelry & Forth floor custom was interesting of showing some highlights of the 135 different tribes history and fashion.
+ Washroom on every floor. Convenient.
- Though not too impressed the young girl guide asking up front for tips if the tour is satisfactory. Reminds of like being in Cuba. Difference being in here she’s polite, friendly & attentive to everyone of our group. Cuba was total opposite. Whole trip in Myanmar has never been asked nor expected tips.
- Certain area no photography nor video allowed. Lights at certain floor was quite dim.
Entrance Free for locals. 5000 Y for foreigner. Nice staff. English speaking staff available to tour around.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are certainly things to be seen here, especially the Lion Throne, some old imperial clothing, and some of the excellent photography of girls in traditional dress.
There are some interesting musical instruments and Buddhist art as well.
However, the exhibits are poorly displayed and even more poorly lit. They also lack clear explanation, making a guide almost a requirement.
A guide will double the cost of the visit (admission currently 10,000Ks per person for foreigners).
If you are looking for a good place to spend a couple of hours and you are a fan of culture, you could come here. Or you could hit a cinema, which is similar in lighting and in culture.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A reasonably interesting museum that is in need of a serious renovation. The building outside is ugly as sin. It's more appropriate for a prison than a national museum. The rooms inside are cavernous and dark. The guards insist on making you check everything in a flimsy locker at the door. So it's better for you to leave your valuables in the hotel's safe. They don't allow you to take pictures with a camera, but they will ignore those who are taking pictures with a phone. So if you have a good phone camera, bring it along.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Prepare to slowly spend 2 to 3 hours here, enjoy the exhibits in various spacious large rooms located on 5 floors. Took me about 45 minutes walk through very fast.
Very few people on Saturday afternoon, not crowed. K5000 fee is well worth it, cost the museum a lot of money to operate it, not cheap to pay for electricity cost just to run many air conditioners there, unlikely it can make profit due to small number of visitors each day, it must be subsidized by government so it can stay in operation.
Tons of real artifacts, there are some replicas, mostly real.
This museum is very interesting for people who can spend time slowly enjoy the little details in the exhibits.
Can be much better if provide more history information in English.
Interested in ancient Burma/Myanmar? This place has plenty to see.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Massive museum with so much to see and explore regarding Myanmar's long and interesting history. There are 5 floors packed with various exhibits, and the pamphlet they hand out after you've paid your entry fare (which was, I believe, 5000 kyats) explains exactly what to see on every floor which was very handy. A word to the wise that it closes fairly early most days, so make sure you come early enough to explore it in its entirety - I budgeted only an hour, and that was barely even enough time to speed walk around the entire museum barely actually taking in any of the information. For best results, try to budget 2-3 hours I would say.
As others have pointed out, the museum could use a couple renovations (there are lights that are burnt out, the floor is cracking in a ton of places, etc.) but I found that its condition was perfectly acceptable to fully enjoy all of the exhibits.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An extensive and great cross section of Myanmar split across so many levels! I spent several hours strolling through the collection. The building itself needs a great deal of work - many lights were not working and some of the rooms had lost their air conditioning. Overall, a nice way to get a solid understanding of Myanmar’s history and culture

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was there last year people said its closed now as they plan to move it to another place so you need to check about this.
But although of this I want to share my experience about this amazing museum as I really enjoyed to be there last year.
First you pay as forginer 500k and you have to leave your bag at outside locker and it's mandatory
The museum consist of 5 floors each one has a story and it's special and different items.
If you want to know about Burma history and traditions and culture this will be the best place ever as almost show every thing you need to know specially its very hard to find someone explain all of this to you as the history of Burma is long and complicated.
I took around 1.5 hours to finish my tour and still feeling its not enough.
Overall its a great experience and I hope it still open.
