The museum had a lot of beautiful collection from megalithic era to the time of Srivijayan Empire. The stone carving is just mesmerizing, I love spending time here watching the display, it is really an incredible piece of history. Some stone carvings date as early as 1st century. There are some rooms that fills with collection of i dont know what because i came on Monday and they were closed. They also have 2 traditional wooden houses installed at this museum. One is "rumah limas", which said to belong to one of the descendant of an arabic sultan, you can see how well off they lived with all the beautiful things inside the house. The other one is "rumah ulu" which is a very simple wooden house used by traveler or trader a long time ago as a transit house or some sort of accomodation. Both are very unique and interesting to see. Unfortunately the display were lack of information, the panel on each artifacts tell us a very limited information. It just feels like a brief introduction. It is also such a pity that the museum building is decaying, its old and starting to show the effect of undermaintenance. I wish whoever in charge of this place can start renovating the building soon. The museum is closed on Mondays so be sure to check the day before you visit.

Great exhibition showcasing the era of the Kingdom of Sriwijaya.
For those who likes the history needs to come here. All the collections shown a lot of the Sumatera's history from the clothes, cultures, way of life. Etc
This museum offers you a good source of information regarding to the history of the sumatra from the old stoneage to the recent time... The collections are well prepared and the information provided is relevant and informative to the general public. Many collections came from the times of the kingdom of sriwijaya and the melayu. The museum building need some renovations though. The location is within minutes from the city centre and it also easily accessed for those need a short stopover before going to the airport. This museum is a must to visit when you are in palembang.
Only pay 1000 IDR and you can take pics of you and Rumah limas just like pictured in the 10000 denomination
in general there are a lot of good information that we can got from this museum but in "entertainment aspect" there are much need to improve. for example the rest room only one and no sign for direction, less information board and guide during tour.
Nice place to know about history, especially about south Sumatra. Clean area, comfortable and good hospitality. Recommended place to study and fun
The museum that you must come when you visit palembang. Not many people come here. The museum it self has been there for 35 years. The have many collection from 16 century. They have a tour guide who could explains everything. The museum has a real stage house from 18 century. The parking lot is not to big.
