Museum Purbakala
About This Museum
Tucked away in the Lampung countryside, you'll find something utterly unexpected: an ancient megalithic site that doubles as a museum. Museum Purbakala isn't just a building with artifacts; it's an open-air landscape where history literally juts from the earth. The grounds are dotted with massive, weathered stone structures that feel both primal and serene. It’s a place that makes the distant past feel immediate and tangible.
Collection Highlights
The star attractions are the sprawling stone arrangements, including menhirs and a unique stepped pyramid known as Punden Berundak. You can also see ancient water tunnels and a collection of crude but compelling terracotta pottery, all found right here on the site.
Visitor Information
It's located just outside Pugung Raharjo village—definitely use GPS to find it. The atmosphere is wonderfully informal; you're essentially wandering through fields and forest to explore at your own pace.
Architecture & Building
The main structure is a simple, modern Indonesian building, but the real architecture is the landscape itself: an expansive archaeological park of grassy mounds and primordial stone formations.
