The Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum and it was a great place to learn about the history of Palembang and South Sumatra. The museum has interesting collections such as traditional songket, weapons, and historical artifacts. The location is very strategic near the Musi River, so the surroundings are nice and full of historical atmosphere. The ticket price is affordable and the place is worth visiting, especially if you like history.

Located on the riverbank of the Musi, the museum exhibits various collections ranging from archeology, ethnography, biology, arts and especially numismatics, the study or collection of currencies. Here, you can find many historical remnants from photo collections of the Kedukan Bukit inscriptions, ancient statues of Buddha and the Ganesha Amarawati, as well as various other remnants including those from the Sriwijaya era. Originally called the Keraton Kuto Kecik or Keraton Kuto Lamo, this building along with the Palembang Grand Mosque was built during the era of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin Jayo Wikramo. Distinct from other buildings of the same era that mainly uses woods, the palace was built with bricks. On 1842 the building was completed and was locally popular as the snail house (Rumah Siput). As a site that was involved in so many historical events, the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum is a display that elaborates various eras in history. As day turns into night, prep your camera to face the overall front view of the museum and wait for all lights to shine. When it does, check your camera’s LCDs and see what splendor you’ve captured. Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II is a perfect place to explore the history of Palembang. The architecture itself is unique as it is a combination of Dutch colonial and native Palembang Palace style.

Missed a chance to visit this museum during my stay at Palembang as I have a tight schedule to be attended to. Will surely come and pay a visit to this place if I happens to visit Palembang next time. Just managed to snap a few pictures of nearby Palembang's prominent tourist attractions such as The Masjid Agung, Monpera and the historical Ampera Bridge. Learn a few words from the locals " Orang Kito Galo - We are all locals here".

if you are in palembang, you should visit here to know its history, and another interesting thing from here is, if you take a photo in the aisle, for you who not married yet will get her/his soul mate. Who knows? Let's try and see for your self 😅 #LetsGuide
