House of Sampoerna, Tobacco museum in Surabaya, Indonesia

The House of Sampoerna occupies a Dutch colonial building with a central auditorium, two side structures, and multiple single-story facilities for tobacco processing.

The structure, built in 1862 as a Dutch orphanage, was purchased by Liem Seeng Tee in 1932 to establish the first major Sampoerna cigarette production facility.

The museum exhibits include vintage photographs, manufacturing equipment, traditional kebaya garments, and demonstrations of hand-rolled kretek cigarette production techniques.

Visitors can join guided tours Monday through Saturday between 9 AM and 11 AM to observe the active factory operations and learn about tobacco processing methods.

The museum collection features a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow that belonged to the Sampoerna family, illustrating their business success in Indonesia.
