Sadurengas Museum, History museum in Paser Belengkong, Indonesia.
The Sadurengas Museum is a history museum in Paser Belengkong housed in a traditional wooden stilt house that displays characteristic East Kalimantan architecture. The building holds a collection of ceramics, musical instruments, cannons, and garments that document the region's past.
The building was originally the palace residence of Sultan Aji Tenggara, who ruled from 1844 to 1873. After the sultanate period ended, it was converted into a museum to preserve the history of this important local ruler and his era.
The museum's collection tells the story of the Paser Sultanate through objects that reflect the region's cultural diversity and trade connections. These items help visitors understand the artistic traditions and external influences that shaped local craftsmanship and daily life over generations.
The museum is open Monday through Saturday, and visitors should check in at the entrance for information or orientation. The site is easy to reach on foot and offers views of traditional wooden architecture alongside neighboring religious structures.
The museum grounds include not just exhibits but also the historic Jami Nurul Ibadah Mosque and burial grounds of former sultans in immediate proximity. This combination offers a rare view of multiple layers of local history in one location.
