Seri Negara in Kuala Lumpur is a restored historic colonial mansion and cultural destination that opened to the public in December 2025 after years of closure and meticulous renovation, offering visitors a chance to explore its role in Malaysia’s journey to nationhood through galleries and exhibitions. The estate, once a residence for British officials and a witness to key independence-era events, now combines heritage displays with modern visitor experiences in the heart of the city.

The Carcosa Seri Negara is a residence located on two adjacent hills inside the Perdana Botanical Gardens, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Originally built as the official residence and guest house of the British High Commissioner in Malaya, it is now owned by the Government of Malaysia. The name is a composite of the two colonial mansions located on the compound: the residence, named Carcosa (completed in 1898), and the guest house, now named Seri Negara (1913).

The buildings figured prominently in the Malaysian independence movement, with several meetings held there. Since Independence in 1957, it has been used as residences for visiting dignitaries (1957–1989), and as a luxury hotel (1989–2015). Since 2017, it has been used as a museum.
