Kuala Lumpur City Hall or MUD Panggung Bandaraya

The City Hall was constructed in 1904 and has found a new destination as musical theatre. The Panggung Bandaraya or MUD show tells visitors the story of Kuala Lumpur. Three young men escape from the tin mines and seek their fortune in the big town.

From a distance the architecture and façade of the City Hall look amazing. Closer by you see that renovations are urgently needed. We hope this will happen soon so that this heritage is not lost. The entrance hall looks very good with a golden dome ceiling and stained glass windows. The ceiling in the theatre is unique in its design and colors.

Het stadhuis werd gebouwd in 1904 en heeft nu een nieuwe bestemming gekregen als muziekhal. De Panggung Bandaraya of MUD musical verteld bezoekers het verhaal van Kuala Lumpur. Drie jonge mannen ontsnappen uit de tinmijnen en zoeken hun fortuin in de grote stad. 

Van op afstand lijken de architectuur en gevel van het stadhuis ongelooflijk. Iets dichter bij zie je dat renovaties dringend en noodzakelijk zijn. Laten we hopen dat er snel actie wordt ondernomen dat dit erfgoed niet verloren gaat. De ingang ziet er heel goed uit met een gouden koepel en sierglazen ramen. Het plafond in het theater is uniek in zijn ontwerp en kleur.

    Oh my goodness what a lovely and amazing ceiling that is! I do imagine that you had a splendid time here indeed. I so like the mix of old and new skyscrapers about downtown, as it is much like that right here in Minneapolis.
