A short visit for the first time to Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar located in Pekan, Pahang. The entrance fee rate is not that expensive, only RM12 for adults, school uniformed students RM5, foreigner RM50 while for children below 12 and old people are for free only. This museum from outside and inside looks very beautiful, with aircond is provided at the inside building. There are many interesting displays from the very old time to the latest one which related to the history of Pahang. This museum can be a great option to visit while you come to Pekan, Pahang. The staffs are friendly and there is a cafe also at the inside of the museum. The only problem here are there are no signboard for the toilets and limited parking for cars not only to visit this museum, but other attractions near by also. Seems like people just park on the pavement at the side of the roads. Other than these issues, the rest seems good here.

Ticket price for adults is RM12, reasonable. The museum is quite large. We spent more than 2 hours exploring. It offers a lot of knowledge about Pahang’s history, culture, and royal heritage. Exhibits are well presented and informative. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Pekan.

This Muzium sultan Abu Bakar offers informative and air-conditioned experience, displaying royal artifacts and historical exhibits. The admission fee is affordable (RM12 for adults). For dining after your tour, be sure to visit Kafe Belibis next door for a unique experience eating inside a train carriage, or stop by Gerabak Kopi for excellent highly-rated specialty coffee.

From outside it is already looks majestic. This former palace is now a royal museum, with more galleries to be opened. The main building is dedicated to the royal collections while the gallery at the back houses Pahang's archaelogical treasures. Sculptors adorned every corner of the museum. It has a small cafe inside, possibly the first public museum in the country after Borneo Culture Museum to do so. My only concern would be the admission fee, which by comparison is a bit high.

This museum have plenty of royal collection.clean and full of information.RM 12 for entrance fee and clear plastic provided as we not allowed to wear shoes inside the exibition/gallery area.got cafe inside.there is separated and connected building for different gallery theme.

It give you insight about pahang, pahang royalty and pahang history. Some renovation still ongoing by october 2025.

This museum was officially opened in October 2016. Originally, this museum was a mosque that was built around 1930, located along the Pekan Pahang riverfront and is dedicated to Islamic culture, religion and history,contains historic artifacts – musical instruments, calligraphy, scientific instruments,It also has detailed explanations of various aspects of Islam in both Malay and English.No entrance Fee!!

This royal palace is now a museum dedicated to the Islamic culture & heritage, from the personal collection of the royal family & artefacts from the state museum. It is part of the future museum complex in Pekan. Free admission, opens to everyone but closes on Mondays.

Muzium history in english and jawi scriptures. Good place to know about history. Have a small place for praying.

A former mosque that has been turned into museum detailing all islamic arts, tales and history. A beautiful panorama can be seen from the outside displayed the architecture that has a major influence from moorish. If you're in pekan or passing by pekan, do stop by here. What an amazing museum!

Had the chance to visit this place. Calming town it is. Great place to take picture and diving into the history. And after that you can take a short walk to Kafe Kereta Api. Happy trying peeps!

Undoubtedly beautifully structure (mosque). Combination build primarily from Islamic architecture, the top part (under the dome) from Gothic architecture, front veiw from Mughal architecture and angle veiw of Islamic Turkey architecture. As for the Museum, it was well maintain pretty nice overall. However the weakness in on it's info where quite alot of it seemingly lack of explanation especially when there in no date for one's artifacts (or replication, regardless).

I was hooked and felt in love everytime i went there, without any regrets. I felt like I am sitting infront of the mini Taj Mahal, with beautiful white colonial bulding architectures. There is a small blue water fountain pond, that surely makes a contrast view with white background. One of the most interesting place to shoot for Hari Raya background pictures. Amazingly beaufiful.
