About This Museum

You'd never guess this unassuming building in Tanggamus was once the heart of a local kingdom. It feels more like stepping into someone's grand, historical home than a sterile museum. Inside, the air is thick with stories, and every object seems to have a personal connection to the region's past. It’s a wonderfully intimate look at a culture you won't find in the big city guides.

Collection Highlights

Look for the ornately carved ceremonial beds and the stunning collection of traditional gold jewelry, which feels incredibly personal. The real gems are the everyday itemsβ€”like old kitchen tools and woven textilesβ€”that show you how life was really lived here for generations.

Visitor Information

It's right on Jl. Kota Agung Bengkunat, so it's pretty easy to find if you're in the Bandar Negeri Semuong area. Just keep an eye out for the building that looks like a large, traditional Indonesian houseβ€”that's your spot.

Architecture & Building

The building itself is a beautiful example of a traditional Lampung 'rumah panggung' or stilt house, with a steeply pitched roof and lots of dark, weathered wood.
