Museum Lampung, Provincial museum in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia
Museum Lampung is a two-story building in Bandar Lampung that showcases historical artifacts and cultural objects from the region. The collections are organized to show both the historical past and daily life of the local populations.
The foundation stone was laid in 1978, and the building opened officially in 1988. It was built to document the history and heritage of the region.
The museum displays traditional objects from Lampung and preserves the material culture of both populations that inhabit the region. Visitors see handcrafted items and everyday objects that reflect how people in these communities lived and worked.
The museum stands on Jalan ZA Pagar Alam No. 64 in Bandar Lampung, about a 30-minute trip from the city centre. The grounds, with the colonial cannon and the stilt-house replica, are seen before entering the building. Visitors reach the site by road from the city centre.
The stilt house in the courtyard is a replica of a traditional Lampung house, not an original century-old dwelling. Such houses were raised on posts to protect residents from tigers and elephants. Nearby lies an iron ball once dragged by two tractors to clear land for transmigration sites in East and Central Lampung between 1953 and 1956.
