Gallery 3: 19th to 20th Century Kampong Ayer

The 19th to 20th Century in Kampong Ayer marked the height of foreign trade and the beginning of the expansion of Brunei inland. This gallery showcases the changes the residents of Kampong Ayer faced with modernization. Families and the administrative office moved on land, and many left their traditional occupations behind. The development of the dry land and the capital are also one of the factors contributing to the decline of Padian and Pengalu.
