Prabu Siliwangi Museum, Historical museum in Sukabumi, Indonesia.
The Prabu Siliwangi Museum is a history museum in Sukabumi, West Java, offering three exhibition halls with a broad collection from the region. The spaces display objects from different periods and cultures, including stonework, weapons, manuscripts, and ceramics from China.
The museum was founded in 2011 and grew from a private collection tracing back through generations to Prabu Siliwangi, an influential leader from the 15th century. This long history of collecting has made it an important keeper of regional memory.
The museum honors the legendary ruler Prabu Siliwangi through its collection, showing how this historical leader remains alive in local memory. The objects displayed reflect his significance to the region and his enduring connection to the people who live there.
The museum is located within an Islamic school complex in Sukabumi's Karangtengah area and is easy to find once you know the location. Access is available during regular opening hours, so visitors should check the specific times before planning their visit.
Most of the artifacts in the museum come from a single family collection carefully preserved over 15 generations. This direct descent from the legendary Prabu Siliwangi makes the collection something special, linking one family's story to the history of an entire region.
