So, Pekan is a very quiet town. What’s interesting there you ask me? Well, there is a few notable places that you can visit. One of it is this. Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar.

Adopting the concept of open-air museum, Sultan Abu Bakar Museum, the town is one of the must-visit locations Pekan.

Visitors will be fascinated with green grass with a replica of the four tails ‘horse’ is formed from driftwood, model fighter jets, armored vehicles, replicas Malay warrior made ​​of steel and egrets ‘rest’ in the middle of the pond. The Museum was originally built in 1888 and used as the first residence of the British Resident in Pahang. The building was also used as the headquarters of the Japanese army during the Second World War and subsequently made ​​the late Sultan Abu Bakar Palace. In 1976, the palace was turned into a museum after the Royal family moved to a new palace. There are five main galleries Kota Beram Palace, Balairong Series, Inderapura, Central Tun Teja and Pekan town with various historical materials.
