A large museum devoted to all things related to paddy, the rice plant. The highlight is a 360 degree diorama portraying typical rural Kedah landscapes.
The word "paddy" is derived from the Malay word padi meaning rice plant so it is appropriate that one of the world's few rice museums should be in Malaysia. The other rice museums that I am aware of are the Gohan Museum in Yurakucho, Japan and IRRI's RiceWorld in Los Baños, Philippines.

The Paddy Museum is big, with an area of 12,000 square meters spread over three floors.

The architecture of the building is designed to symbolize bushels of harvested rice stalks.

Rice motifs decorate the external facade and are used on railings in the interior.
