Royal Museum (Istana Negara)

Recommendation by Lemi

Rachel gets her first peek at the ostentation of Singapore’s high society at Peik Lin Goh’s (her college friend, played by Awkwafina) home. The gold-embellished mansion is actually The Royal Museum, the former residence of the King and Queen of Malaysia! It was only opened to the public in 2013 after serving the monarchy for over 80 years. Tour the Palladian-style palace’s 22 royal spaces (including the sovereign’s private sleeping chambers) and imagine the regality that used to thrive in the halls.
