Benteng Heritage Museum

The museum displays cultural artifacts, traditional clothing, culinary tools, and religious objects documenting Chinese-Indonesian life in a traditional Peranakan building.

The structure, dating from 1684, stands near the Cisadane River and represents one of the oldest buildings in Tangerang, transformed into a museum by Udaya Halim in 2011.

The exhibits demonstrate the influence of Chinese settlers on Indonesian society through collections of traditional garments, trade items, and religious ceremonial objects.

Visitors can participate in educational programs, workshops, and cultural events that take place regularly at the museum near Boen Tek Bio temple.

The restoration process incorporated additional Peranakan Chinese decorative elements based on academic research due to the absence of original architectural records.
