Balla Lompoa Museum, Historical museum in Somba Opu, Indonesia.

The Balla Lompoa Museum is housed in a traditional Makassar wooden structure built with teak, featuring small windows distributed across its exterior. The building now functions as a display space for royal treasures and cultural objects from the region.

Balla Lompoa was built in 1936 as the residence and seat of government of Mangi Mangi Daeng Matutu, Karaeng Bontonompo, who reigned as the 36th king of Gowa under the title Sultan Muhammad Tahir Muhibuddin. It replaced earlier royal offices near the Bungaya field. On 11 December 1973 the former palace became a museum, and the Tamalate palace stands within the same grounds.

The museum displays objects that reflect the shared heritage of Bugis and Makassar communities. Visitors see royal garments and traditional weapons that demonstrate the craftsmanship and artistic traditions of these regions.

The museum is open Monday to Thursday from 08:00 to 13:00, Friday from 08:00 to 11:00 and Saturday from 08:00 to 12:00, and is closed on Sunday. Entry is by voluntary contribution rather than a fixed ticket. It stands on Jalan Sultan Hasanuddin in Sungguminasa, about 1 km from Hasanuddin Airport and 3 km from Mallengkeri bus terminal.

The museum preserves the Ponto janga-jangaya, a ceremonial gold bracelet shaped like a two-headed dragon that symbolized the authority of local rulers. This object shows how power and status were expressed through specific artistic pieces in regional culture.
