KLDEX

IN THE HEART OF KUALA LUMPUR

Malaysia, Told
Through Durian.

A cultural experience bringing together durian heritage, guided tasting,
theatre, local food and Malaysian stories – under one roof.

Discover
Malaysia
through its most
iconic fruit.

Durian is the entry point. Malaysia is the journey.

KLDEX is a national durian culture and learning hub. Behind every fruit is a
farmer, a family, a tree, a season, and years of knowledge passed down quietly.
We were created to tell that story properly – through a museum, theatre,
guided tasting, food, retail and orchard tourism.
