During the Japanese rule of Malaya, it was used as war headquarter. After the independence of Malaya in 1957, it was used as Klang District office. The museum was initially opened in 1988 as the Memorial Museum ({{langx|ms|Muzium Kenangan}}). The gallery was officiated on 19 October 2007 by Sultan Sharafuddin.{{cite web|url=http://www.tourismselangor.my/destinations/the-sultan-abdul-aziz-royal-gallery/|title=The Sultan Abdul Aziz Royal Gallery|access-date=24 October 2016|publisher=Tourism Selangor}}
