Bung Hatta Birth House

Bung Hatta Birth House, History museum in Bukittinggi, Indonesia.

Bung Hatta Birth House is a reconstruction, completed in 1995, of the house built around the 1860s where Mohammad Hatta lived until age 11. The wooden compound on Jalan Soekarno-Hatta No. 37 includes a main building for guests and family, a pavilion that was Hatta's bedroom, a rice barn, kitchen, stable and fish pond. Furnishings include a brass bed from England, a black bed, and Hatta's chairs and tables.

The original house, built around the 1860s, collapsed in the 1960s. Reconstruction began on 15 January 1995 after research using photographs from Hatta's memoirs and family collections, and the museum was inaugurated on 12 August 1995, Hatta's birthday and the 50th anniversary of Indonesian independence. The initiative came from the chairman of the Bung Hatta Education Foundation.

The building reflects the family values and intellectual environment that shaped Mohammad Hatta's later political beliefs and independence work. Visitors can experience how a prosperous Minangkabau household functioned in the early 20th century.

The museum is managed by the Bukittinggi Tourism, Arts and Culture Office and stands on Jalan Soekarno-Hatta No. 37, about a 10-minute walk from the Jam Gadang clock tower. The grounds include the main house, kitchen, rice barn, pavilion and former horse stable, so allow time to move between buildings.

The house was rebuilt between January and August 1995 on the site of the original, which had collapsed in the 1960s. Plans were based on photographs in Hatta's memoir and family collections, and about 40 craftsmen worked on it. Old keys, latches and pillars came as donations from local residents.
