Lampung Museum
About This Museum
You might not expect to find a cannon from the Banten Sultanate guarding the entrance of a provincial museum, but that's the first clue that the Lampung Museum is full of surprises. Stepping inside feels like walking through a condensed timeline of the region, where ancient artifacts and colonial-era remnants share the same space. The centerpiece is an impressive full-scale replica of a traditional 'Sessat' stilt house, its peaked roof and elevated structure a stark contrast to the modern city outside. It’s a place that feels both deeply local and curiously eclectic.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly the detailed replica of a traditional Lampung stilt house, complete with its distinctive thatched roof. Don't miss the formidable iron cannon near the entrance, a silent relic from a bygone era of sultanates and colonial trade.
Visitor Information
You'll find it on Jalan ZA. Pagar Alam in Bandar Lampung—it's a straightforward spot to pop into for a few hours to get a real sense of the region's layered history.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a functional, modern structure typical of many Indonesian government buildings, but its clean lines provide a neutral backdrop that lets the historical collections take center stage.
