The Kompleks Kraftangan, literally Cultural Craft Complex, is the celebrated place to catch amazing handicrafts, native to Malaysia. Located along Jalan Conlay in Kuala Lumpur, it is controlled by the Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation - a constitutional body under Ministry of Culture, Art and Heritage (www.heritage.gov.my/). It presents some exclusive Malaysian handicrafts, such as, silk kaftan, bathrobes, silverware, mengkuang products, pewterware, glassware, pottery, silk batik paintings, and songket (brocade material).

This wooden handicraft complex is spread over lush landscaped gardens. KL Craft Complex is actually a one-stop craft centre which presents a distinctive range of craft-related activities and programmes. It's a place where one can explore Malaysian culture of crafts and have a bash making some items. This whole complex is divided into 4 main blocks, i.e. Craft Museum, Craft Village, Artists' Colony, and Karyaneka Craft Boutique. For tourists and visitors, the Cultural Craft Complex organizes several events and weekly cultural shows at Laman Wau. To concise terms, the Kuala Lumpur Craft Complex is a must-visit place to apprehend the culture of Malaysia from close.
