MUSEUMS IN PAHANG

There are not many museums in Pahang, but you can be sure that the ones that are established in the State provide good information, artifacts and exhibits for visitors.

You can find the Muzium Tokoh Pahang (Pahang Heroes Museum) in the heart of Kuantan, at Jalan Masjid, near the Kuantan State Mosque.

Further away, in Sungai Lembing, there is a museum show-casing the history of the town during its heyday when it had the deepest and largest subterranean coal-mine in the world.

And in Bandar Pekan Diraja, the Pahang State Museum known as the Sultan Abu Bakar Museum, contains the best exhibits and historical artifacts on the state of Pahang.

Nearby, just across the road from the State Museum is a Watercraft and Boat Gallery, with real exhibits of the boats and crafts that used to criss-cross the rivers of Pahang and the coastal areas when they were the chief means of transportation, before modern vessels and engine–run vehicles came into being.

There are other small, mini museums in Pahang, including a horror museum, and I will take you to them by and by.

The Pahang Sungai Lembing Museum was set up to remember the glory days of Sungai Lembing town as the richest producer of tin when the country, Malaysia, was the largest producer in the world.
