If you visit any country, you will notice that they have got something to show you about their heritage be it arts, culture and so on. Their museums show a lot of their civilisation.
Like wise, Terengganu has recently opened a gallery at Jalan Sultan Sulaiman Kuala Terengganu near the Batu Bersurat roundabout. It is called Galeri Seni Warisan Terengganu (translated as Terengganu's Heritage Art Gallery). It is being managed by a newly established institute by the name of Terengganu Institute of Design Excellence (TiDE) which has a research entity. The institute also trains Terengganu entrepreneurs involve in these arts.
The office of TiDE is on the upper floor.
The gallery is located on the ground floor while the Institute staff occupy the upper floor. It has a touch of designers and that is why it looks very presentable. The exhibits include batik, songket, wood carving, mengkuang weaving and brassware and they are not meant for sale (unlike the ones in Nor Arfa Craft Complex).
