Istana Kenangan, Royal wooden palace in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia.

Istana Kenangan is a royal wooden palace in Kuala Kangsar featuring two stories with yellow-painted windows. Its exterior walls display diamond-shaped patterns crafted from wood and bamboo, creating a distinctive appearance.

Built in 1926 for Sultan Iskandar Shah by carpenter Haji Suffian of Bukit Mertajam, assisted by his sons Zainal Abidin and Ismail, the palace was first known as Istana Lembah. It served as the sultan's official residence from 1931 to 1933, then hosted royal receptions and palace guests after Istana Iskandariah was completed. In 1986 it became the Perak Royal Museum, inaugurated by Sultan Azlan Muhibbudin Shah on 16 November.

The building's form is likened to a sword kept in its scabbard, and a singgahsana (throne) is placed at the centre of the upper floor. The walls carry Malay carving in tepas (woven bamboo) with traditional plaiting patterns, painted in Perak's state colours of yellow, black and white.

The palace is located on Jalan Istana and now functions as the Perak Royal Museum. Visitors can view exhibits and displays about the history of Perak's royal family and governance.

The entire structure stands without metal nails, showcasing traditional Malaysian construction methods. The individual wood and bamboo elements are interlocked and joined through craftsmanship rather than relying on metal fasteners.
