"Constructed in 1926 on Bukit Chandan, this 'Saracenic Moorish' architectural facets creates a spellbinding sight for onlookers and visitors to the place."
Previously known as Istana Kenangan, Istana Tepas and Istana Lembah. The Perak Royal Museum was built as a royal residence in 1926. It is an amazing architecture which was built without a single nail.
The museum rests majestically on Bukit Chandan, a hilly landscape also known as Changkat Negara. Its 'Saracenic Moorish' architectural facets creates a spellbinding sight for onlookers and visitors to the place.
Prior to the construction, the Sultan resided at Istana Kenangan which has been transformed into Muzium DiRaja (Royal Museum).
The museum now showcases Perak's Royal regalia as well as pictures and history of the Royal family.
