VISITING SUNGAI LEMBING MUSEUM - PART TWO

CONTINUATION OF PART ONE

16TH SEPTEMBER 2025 ~ The double storey colonial house was surprisingly huge enough to display a lot of exhibits to the visitors.

There was a huge crowd flocking to the museum, mostly parents bringing their kids for the long weekends break.

That should end my museum hopping adventure for my Kuantan trip this time. I still have to get back as I am yet to visit the museums that were not opened in Pekan when we went there the day before, and one museum was still under renovation in Sungai Lembing.

Thanks to the gracious hosts this time, Puan Aunilllah Hilmi and her husband, for taking me to all the places throughout my 2-day stay. One thing for sure, I will be seeing them again when I am back in Kuantan in the future.

VISITING SUNGAI LEMBING MUSEUM - PART ONE

16TH SEPTEMBER 2023 ~ The main attraction of Sungai Lembing would be its museum sitting on top of a hill. To get to the building was an uphill task, literally speaking as all the cars were parked outside the compound.

The entrance ticket was only RM2.00 and I personally feel that the museum authority should charge more.

The building was originally the house of a high ranking officer of the mine which was later converted into a museum.

Why is Sungai Lembing significant to Malaysia history? It once hosted the largest, deepest and longest underground tin mine in the world.

Generally, the museum exhibited everything related to underground tin mining in the past.

One part of the museum was like a geology gallery.

Only the bedroom part of the house was still maintained as the accommodation of an English man.
