Sultan Abu Bakar Museum

Sultan Abu Bakar Museum, Royal museum in Pekan District, Malaysia.

Sultan Abu Bakar Museum occupies a building on Jalan Sultan Ahmad in Pekan, Pahang, constructed in the 1920s during British Malaya. It displays ancient Chinese glassware and ceramics alongside artifacts tied to the history of Pahang and the Pahang Sultanate.

The building was constructed in the 1920s during British Malaya and served as the official residence of the British government, later as army barracks and then as the official palace of Sultan Abu Bakar. After four years of renovation it was converted into a museum, opened by Sultan Ahmad Shah on 21 October 1976.

The museum's name honours Sultan Abu Bakar, whose official palace the building became before it was converted; it was opened as a museum by Sultan Ahmad Shah on 21 October 1976. Exhibits cover the history of Pahang and the Pahang Sultanate, alongside ancient Chinese glassware and ceramics.

The museum stands on Jalan Sultan Ahmad in Pekan, Pahang. The building was renovated for four years before it opened as a museum, so allow time to see both floors of exhibits. It is a stop for visitors touring Pekan's royal and colonial sites.

The building served as the headquarters of the Japanese army during the occupation of Malaya, before becoming the official palace of Sultan Abu Bakar. It was opened as a museum by Sultan Ahmad Shah on 21 October 1976, after four years of renovation.
