Museum Provinsi Kalimantan Barat

Museum Provinsi Kalimantan Barat, Provincial museum in Pontianak, Indonesia.

Museum Provinsi Kalimantan Barat is a provincial museum in Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan, Indonesia, housing objects from the indigenous and local communities of the region. The collections cover ceramics, historical documents, woodcarvings, and traditional clothing that together document life across this part of Borneo.

The museum was initiated in 1974 by the West Kalimantan regional office of the Department of Education and Culture, through a museum rehabilitation and expansion project. It was officially opened to the public on 4 October 1983 by the Director General of Culture. Its grounds cover about 28,167 square metres, with the museum building occupying around 3,905 square metres.

The museum displays everyday objects and traditional garments from Dayak and Malay communities, including hand-woven textiles and painted items that visitors can see up close. Many of these pieces come from groups that still practice the same crafts today.

The museum is on Jalan Jenderal Ahmad Yani in Parit Tokaya, South Pontianak, postal code 78121. It opens Tuesday to Sunday 08:00-14:00, but on Friday only 08:00-11:00 and 12:30-14:00. It is closed on Mondays and national holidays. The grounds cover about 28,167 square metres, with three exhibition rooms and further objects in the rear yard.

In the back yard, alongside a replica of the stone called Batu Pahit, stand miniatures of a lanting house, a rice barn (dangau), a lancang kuning boat and a dragon furnace, plus a rubber press and the anchor of a foreign trading ship. These models show building and boat types from across West Kalimantan.
