Goedang Ransoem Museum, History museum in Sawahlunto, Indonesia
The Museum Goedang Ransoem occupies a substantial building complex featuring two large warehouses and a German-made furnace system from 1894 for mass food preparation.
The Dutch colonial government constructed this building in 1918 as a central kitchen facility to distribute meals to thousands of coal mine workers.
The museum exhibits 150 artifacts and 250 historical photographs that document the daily lives of forced laborers and kitchen workers during colonial times.
The museum operates daily from 9:00 to 17:00, located 94 kilometers from Padang city, requiring a two-hour journey by vehicle to reach.
The kitchen facility used an underground steam system connecting to 20 furnaces, capable of cooking 3,900 kilograms of rice daily for miners and hospital patients.
