The recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT)have tremendously affected the way teaching and learning (T&L) is delivered in both formal and informal education. For formal education, Malaysia is reaping the benefits of ICT through Smart School project under MSC Malaysia initiatives. For informal education, an initial observation suggest that museums, a critical institution which protects and preserves the national heritage as well as delivers the knowledge to the general public, employ less ICT in their exhibition halls. As there is lack of empirical evidence to prove the above, this study aims to determine the level of ICT use by museums in Malaysia and attempts to understand issues that have a profound influence on ICT implementation in their institution and hence in their exhibition halls. A survey was conducted among 22 governing institution for museums throughout Malaysia.
