Sultan Abu Bakar Museum

A visit to Pekan would not be complete without a trip to the The Sultan Abu Bakar Museum which houses a rich collection of century old artifacts.
Among some of the items displayed are priceless antiques including glassware and ceramics, as well as exhibits tracing the lineage of Pahang's royalty.
The Sultan Abu Bakar Museum, which is the official name of the Pekan State Museum, is located at Jalan Sultan Ahmad. The present brick and stone museum building was originally constructed in 1929 as a house for the British Resident. During the Japanese occupation from 1942-1945 it served as the headquarters for the Japanese Army in Pahang. After the war, in 1948, the late Sultan Abu Bakar took over the building to replace Istana Seri Terentang as the official palace which he renamed Istana Kota Beram. In 1970, it was then converted into a museum, established on the proposal by the second Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Abdul Razak bin Dato’ Hussein.
