Cranbrook, Earl of, 2000, Northern Borneo environment of the past 40,000 years: archaeological evidence.Sarawak Museum The Sarawak Museum is the oldest museum in Borneo. It was established in 1888 and opened in 1891 in a purpose-built building in Kuching, Sarawak. Sponsored by Charles Brooke, the second White Rajah of Sarawak, the establishment of the museum was strongly encouraged by Alfred Russel Journal, 55, no. 76: 61-149.
