Bengkulu Museum, State museum in Bengkulu City, Indonesia
The museum building follows the architecture of traditional Bengkulu houses with a raised floor structure supported by pillars and a five-ridged roof design.
The museum moved to its current location at Jalan Pembangunan Number 8 in January 1983 and received state museum status through a ministerial decree in 1987.
The museum holds 126 ancient manuscripts and displays traditional Besurek cloth with Arabic calligraphy patterns, representing the regional textile heritage of Bengkulu.
The museum opens from Tuesday through Sunday, displaying 4,519 items across categories including biology, ethnography, archeology, history, numismatics, and technology.
The museum preserves a Golden Press Drukkey Populair printing machine previously used by the Indonesian government for printing red currency notes.
