National Museum of Transmigration

The National Museum of Transmigration is a museum building in Sukaraja that presents detailed exhibitions about population movements between Indonesian islands. The displays document the government-sponsored migration programs that affected millions of people.

The museum was established in 2004 and documents the national transmigration policy that moved millions of people from densely populated Java to other Indonesian regions. This resettlement movement shaped the country's demographic and social development over several decades.

The exhibition halls display personal belongings and handcrafted tools from families who joined the transmigration program. These objects tell stories of everyday life and experiences in newly established settlements.

The museum is open most days but with varying hours depending on the day of the week. Visitors should check exact opening times in advance and allow sufficient time to view all exhibitions.

The exhibition sections follow the chronological journey of transmigrant families from departure preparations to establishing new communities in different regions. This narrative structure allows visitors to understand the emotional and practical challenges these families faced during migration.
