The
whole of Pahang is a 'museum'. What better way to
discover the history of the state than to
immerse yourself in the very place where history
was made. But, given the short span of time that
visitors can allow themselves in the state,
museums can help. These places are
convenient repositories of historical documentation
that make it easier for the the public and
visitors to dig into the sands and dust of time.
Pahang has four museums, each with its unique
presentation of a facet of the state's heritage or
a general overview of the whole. Browse the
interesting exhibits and relive the history when
you are out and about discovering the nooks and
crannies of the state.

This
museum immortalises the memory and rich
history of the Sungai Lembing mine. So rich
was its output during its heydays that the
British colonial government established a
special settlement for its officers here.
The place degenerated gradually until
everything came to a stop by 1984 as result of
the drastic drop in the price of tin.
The
Sultan Abu Bakar Museum or the Pekan State
Museum is located at Jalan Sultan Ahmad in the
royal town of Pekan. It houses a rich
collection of artifacts, including priceless
antiques as well as exhibits tracing the
lineage of the state’s royalty.
