Sultan Abu Bakar Museum, Pekan

Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar, Pekan (30 December, 2006)


Sultan Abu Bakar Museum is a museum in Pekan, Pahang. The building faces Jalan Sultan Ahmad, looking towards Sungai Pahang. The museum provides an insight into the history of the Pahang royal house. The building that houses the Sultan Abu Bakar Museum originally housed the official residence of the British Resident of Pahang. During the Japanese Occupation, it was taken over by the Japanese troops to be used as an army barracks. Later on, it was also used as the official palace of Sultan Abu Bakar, who reigned from 1932 until 1974.

The Sultan Abu Bakar Museum was opened on 21 October, 1976, by the Sultan of Pahang, Sultan Ahmad Shah, and was named in memory of his father.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
