T.B. Silalahi Museum Center, Cultural heritage museum in Balige, Indonesia
The T.B. Silalahi Museum Center spans four levels within a rectangular building decorated with traditional Batak gorga patterns near Lake Toba.
General T.B. Silalahi established this museum in 2006 to document his journey from a buffalo herder to becoming a military leader and minister.
The museum contains exhibits representing six Batak subgroups: Toba, Simalungun, Karo, Mandailing, Angkola, and Pakpak, displaying their artifacts and traditions.
Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 to 17:00 and weekends until 18:00, with separate pricing for local and international guests.
The fourth floor features a sky restaurant offering views of Lake Toba while displaying traditional weapons and personal items from T.B. Silalahi's collection.
