Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar

If you happen to be in Pekan, this is a must visit place.

Nothing much to say except view the displays for yourself.

Sorry the ridiculously poor picture quality. Lighting inside the museum is dim to preserve the artifices 


The exterior of the museum. I presume these metal sculptures of elephants, in due time will be overgrown with foliage hence, a plant in the shape of an elephant 




Bronze warriors in combat


Remarkable keris stone sculpture 


Canon 


A gorgeous old ficus tree




Exterior wall decoration



  
Trying to bring back the prehistoric cave painting feel


Operating Hours














Old Land Rover fire engine





Wooden ladder










Gorgeous Iron Wood tree

 

























With the exterior done, lets step in























 








Tombak







 






Head gears on display








Royal family pictures






Some explanation on the pictures are provided




Lots of homage is paid to the orang asli in Pahang





















 

Their cargo will be placed in pots and tied to prevent water sipping, whilst traveling in the perahu




Very life like wooden sculptures














The attention to detail is amazing










The asli tribe, back in the days













 
Makeshift simple wooden huts, used by the tribe. These are scaled models




Wooden sculptures by the orang asli 
















Ancient artifact found around Pahang




















































































Modern Wall paintings










Royal Regalia
 















































Wooden containers



















Gasing


 Congkak



















Kukur










Kitab










Traditional Musical Instruments
























Someone surely took their sports seriously






































Wayang Kulit
