Established in 1972 by my father, the Malay Art Gallery initially started off as a Gallery for artists to expose their works and later evolved eventually into the dealings of artifacts and artworks from the regions.
My father's passion for the kris and weapons from these areas started when he was a teenager and as his collection grew, he eventually started to trade in them. We have licenses from the Arms & Explosive Branch of the Singapore Police Force to legally deal with edge weapons.
Having been in the business for more than two decades, we work occasionally with the National Museum here in organizing cultural and traditional ceremonies, providing our sincere advise and expertise to collectors, enthusiast, scholars, friendly tourist or even curious housewives!
Through the years, we have had many varieties of item and presently we are only featuring our Krises and other weapons related items. From time to time we will be updating and adding more variety to our site.

Our Services
We also provide services for complete restoration or replacements of any parts relating to the kris.
