The historical complex sits in the traditional Malay houses. It features various memorials erected to honor Malaysian heroes, as well as watch tower, stage, cannon etc. It overlooks the Perak River.







Unlike the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur which houses a variety of antiquities from all over Malaysia dating back to early civilisation to the recent past, the Pasir Salak History Complex is based on a form of recorded history. The museum has 42 high quality dioramas which depicts/captures historical events from the early 14th Century to the 19th Century.







The main attraction at Pasir Salak Historical Complex is the Time Tunnel. This is a traditional Malay building with a series of dioramas inside arranged in chronological order, depicting the main flash points and important events in the history of the Malays and Malaysia beginning with the early settlement of Kuala Selingsing in 200BC. The dioramas are interesting and nicely made.

Other attractions at the complex include a watch tower, Belotah (harvest dance) stage, the Lela Rentaka (a type of cannon used by the Malays), traditional Perak houses called Rumah Kutai and a wooden mosque built in 1964 on the site of the old one which was burned down.
