Adityawarman Museum, History museum in Padang, Indonesia
The Adityawarman Museum displays ethnographic collections within a traditional Minangkabau building with two rice granaries in its front yard at Jalan Diponegoro.
The museum construction started in 1974 and opened in 1977 under the Ministry of Education and Culture to preserve West Sumatra historical artifacts.
The institution houses 5,781 items that document Minangkabau and Mentawai traditions, including replicas of Dharmasraya kingdom relics from the 11th century.
Visitors can explore the museum exhibits from Tuesday through Sunday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with limited accessibility for wheelchair users.
The museum experienced substantial damage during the Padang earthquake, resulting in the loss of over 80 percent of its original collection.
