Kompleks Galeri Mat Kilau is situated in kampung Bukit Rang Pulau Tawar along the Jerantut – Maran trunk road, about 5 minutes’ drive from Kompleks Gua Kota Gelanggi. We were a little disappointed when we visited the gallery. It looked like it has not been operating for quite a while.

Before the Covid 19 pandemic, it is one of the tourist attractions in Pahang. This gallery showcases the history of Malay warriors such as Mat Kilau, Pawang Noh, Tok Gajah and many more. The gallery houses artifacts, pictures and old relics such as weapons used by Pahang warriors in the past. The exhibition displays are in various forms such as sculptures, pictures, visuals, and audio to attract tourists.

It was opened to the public on 30 September 2015. The operating hours daily are supposed to be from 9 am to 6 pm and there is a small entrance fees charged.
