Pineapple Museum, Agricultural museum in Pekan Nanas, Malaysia.
The Pineapple Museum in Pekan Nanas displays farming equipment, processed goods, and techniques that growers in this region have used for decades. Exhibits show the entire journey from planting to harvest through photographs, machinery, and products made from the fruit.
The facility was established to document the history and growth of Malaysia's pineapple industry over time. Management passed to the Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board in 2021 to sharpen the focus on how the industry shapes the region.
The town's name means 'Pineapple Town', reflecting how central this crop is to the local community's sense of place. You can observe how farming traditions shape daily life and the values of people living here.
The museum sits in a farming area with easy road access and views of working plantations around the grounds. Best visited during the day when you can see agricultural activity and observe how farmers work in the fields nearby.
Living plants of different pineapple varieties grow outside the main building, letting visitors observe real cultivation firsthand rather than just in photographs. These growing fruits show how slowly the plants mature and help explain the work farmers do throughout the year.
