Pahang’s state museum is located in the royal town of Pekan, dedicated primarily to the showcase of Sungai Lembing’s mining industry. During its peak, Sungai Lembing was the largest subterranean coal mine in Southeast Asia as well as a leading producer of tin.
Formerly the residence of a British official, the museum now exhibits elements from that era, including old mining equipment, mineworkers’ costumes, furniture and tableware. Look out for the life-like diorama displaying miners at work in the museum.
