Balanga Museum

Balanga Museum is a collection of objects from Central Kalimantan that displays tools, weapons, musical instruments, and ceramics from different times. The exhibits are arranged in rooms where these items can be seen side by side.

The building was originally erected in 1963 as a memorial for the National Council and later received its name and purpose as a museum. The transformation shows how places change with community needs.

The museum shows how the Dayak people lived through objects used in daily life and important moments. Visitors can see the role that crafts and ceremonies played in shaping community life.

The place is reachable on foot or by local transport and has set hours on weekdays. Visitors should come in the morning when there is more time to look around without feeling rushed.

The museum holds a rare collection of confiscated weapons from a local conflict that shook the region years ago. These objects tell a difficult story that often goes untold.
