Museum Subkoss Garuda Sriwijaya

The Museum Subkoss Garuda Sriwijaya contains 3,715 artifacts including geological specimens, biological samples, ethnographic items, archaeological findings, and historical objects.

Established in 1988, this museum preserves and displays artifacts from the Sriwijaya Kingdom, which governed the region between the 7th and 13th centuries.

The museum exhibits traditional houses, ancient Buddhist statues, regional weapons, pottery collections, and numerous inscriptions that represent South Sumatran heritage.

Visitors can explore three distinct archaeological sub-sites known as Karanganyar, connected by seven canals that demonstrate historical water management systems.

The museum grounds feature artificial islands surrounded by man-made canals and moats, revealing the advanced engineering capabilities of ancient Sriwijayan civilization.
