Preserving Royal Selangor’s Heritage
We preserve and share our history through free access to the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre, Kuala Lumpur.

The Royal Selangor Visitor Centre also offers live pewtersmithing demonstration and pewter crafting workshops; the School of Hard Knocks and The Foundry.

Raising Funds for Non-Profit Organisations
We have partnered with a number of non-profit organisations with the aims to raise funds for good causes. Our Nick Munro jelly mould and Pink pendants were specially designed to create awareness and raise funds for Breast Cancer Welfare Association Malaysia, while Mia collection, a collaboration with Malaysia’s contemporary artists, was created in aid of Badan Warisan Malaysia (The Heritage of Malaysia Trust).
