the National Textile Museum, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is housed in an attractive building of Mughal-Islamic style architecture. It was built alongside the Sultan Abdul Samad building and was completed in 1896. The architect, AC Norman designed this building to house the headquarters of the Federated Malay States Railway. In 1917, the building was given to the Selangor state government and became Selangor Public Works Department. (PWD or JKR). The façade was given a facelift to harmonize with the Islamic style of the adjacent government buildings.
