Muzium Tokoh pays tribute to those who have
contributed to the development and enrichment of
the state of Pahang through their selfless
efforts, exceptional skills, and excellent
services. Initially
it was called the Museum Pahlawan (Heroes Museum),
but later the name was changed to Muzium Tokoh
while still retaining its concept.
The building, which was built 1910, during the
British colonial period was first used as the
Kuantan District Office. Then, in 1948, the
building was renovated and became the Pejabat
Kerajaan Daerah Kuantan. It also housed the
Pejabat Perairan dan Saliran, Pejabat Perhilitan,
Pejabat Pesaka and Pejabat Penghulu Mukim Kuantan
until 1993. On
top of having a unique architectural value, this
is among the few remaining that has a historical
setting. It has been identified in the Cultural
Zoning Area as a place to gather the various
artifacts, information, and documents relating to
the the distinguished sons and daughters of
Pahang. Admission: Free
