Museum Timah Indonesia, Tin museum in Muntok, Indonesia

Museum Timah Indonesia displays the history of tin extraction in the Bangka Belitung region through machinery, tools, and historical documents. The collection spans different periods of mining technology, from early manual methods to more developed techniques.

The Dutch colonial government built the building in 1915 as the headquarters of the Bangka tin mining company (Bankatinwinning), also serving as the colonial administrative centre on Bangka. Japanese forces took it over during their occupation, and it was neglected after Indonesia's independence in 1945. PT Timah Tbk conserved the structure from 2012 and opened it as a museum on 7 November 2013.

The museum's galleries trace Muntok's social and cultural history, including a gallery on the Malay development of Bangka and displays of traditional Muntok clothing and everyday objects used by Bangka Belitung communities. A gallery on Soekarno's exile shows photographs of him and his companions and models of Wisma Ranggam and Wisma Menumbing, the houses where Indonesian figures were held in Muntok.

The museum is best visited in the morning or early afternoon when it is less crowded. It sits in the city center and is easy to reach, though booking a guided tour in advance will give you better explanations of the exhibits.

The museum's last gallery is dedicated to Vivian Bullwinkel, an Australian army nurse, and was built by the Australian Army; it shows a short video in English. The building also carries "ANNO 1915" above the front entrance, and a replica of a clock monument demolished during renovation stands in the yard.
