It is commendable that someone came up with the idea of creating a small gallery or museum in Cameron Highlands to break the monotony of looking at strawberries and vegetables only while touring this place.
Time Tunnel Gallery is not a fantastic gallery. The gallery which consists of a few lots within a row of wooden shop houses sit right next to the main road. This is fairly easy to find if you drive toward Brinchang from Sungai Bertam. The building is fairly run down and the display of all artefacts and items is haphazard. The whole gallery is only manned by one staff stationed at the entrance counter. It seems that her only task is to collect RM5.00 from each visitor before being allowed in.
For people born in the 50's, many of the items on display do provoke nostalgia of the old days!
Because of the lack of electricity in those days, thermo flask was the only gadget to store hot water.
Iron run on burning charcoal.
Every household had a cupboard likes this to store food and cutlery. No fridge in those days!
Trishaw used by people to move around - a form of taxi in those days!
Marbles we used to play when we were kids in the village in the 1950's and 60's.
Paper bag used to hold sundry items when we did our shopping.

That would definitely have been fascinating. Did you really used to have marbles made of stone just like the ones pictured?
Yup. They were of various sizes ranging from about 20mm dia to as big as 40mm dia!
