National Transmigration Museum
About This Museum
Folks come to the National Transmigration Museum not just to see old things, but to understand the incredible journey of families who left everything behind to build new lives in places like Lampung. You can almost hear the echoes of their hopes and struggles in the displays, from the simple tools they carried to replicas of the very first rudimentary houses they built with their own hands. It’s a story of sheer grit, tracing the path from crowded boats arriving on unfamiliar shores to the eventual establishment of thriving farms and communities. Stepping back outside, you get a real sense of how this monumental government program didn't just move people—it fundamentally reshaped the entire Indonesian archipelago.
Collection Highlights
Look for the dioramas showing the different types of early settlement houses and a full-scale replica of the 'Colombo Plan' ship that carried so many pioneers; it's incredibly moving.
Visitor Information
You'll find it on Jalan Ahmad Yani in Gedong Tataan, Pesawaran—it's a quiet spot, so it's best to check opening hours locally before you make the trip.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a modern, functional structure, but its clean lines and spacious grounds thoughtfully reflect the order and community planning central to the transmigration story.
