Negri Sembilan is the home to Malaysia’s Minang Kabau culture, a community originally from West Sumatra which settled in NS in the 15th Century. The culture is famous for its unique and elegant architecture with curving, ornate rooflines whose points resemble buffalo horns, similar to those in the Centre. The society is one of the few matrilineal groups in the world. The Royal capital of Negri Sembilan is located at Sri Menanti, off the road to Seremban, about one hour north of Rompin, by road. The former palace, a 120 year old wooden building is now a museum housing royal regalia, costumes, furniture, weapons etc. The cultural museum, Muzium Adat, is located at Kuala Klawang while the State Museum is located in Seremban, also in a Minang style building. A further museum housing memorabilia from a famous writer is Teratak Za’aba, on the road between Bahau and Batu Kikir. Batu Kikir has a very large “flea” and local food produce market every Wednesday and Sunday morning.
