Since the burning of the Pagaruyung Palace, this museum has become one of the best "rumah gadang" to visit. I think, this museum has become a must-visit tourist object when we go to West Sumatra.

Museum Adityawarman

Reviewed By voltaired503

Interesting place it has a good collection of weapons on the second floor of the main building. The labels there are in bahasa indonesia. The first floor accessible thru the second floor right hall stairwells shows the fabrics an traditional dresses and cooking utensils and molds they used to use. The labels there are in bahasa and english. What surpised me where the cake molds and gold and silver belts that were once used in the region. The area below also contains some of Java man remains, preserved animal remains as well. The second building at the back of the museum contains the architecture area that contains miniture model of houses and halls in West Sumatera and the childrens technology exhibits which did attract most of the students that where there during my visit. The trip was worth it for a price of 3000 IDR was worth the fiat money to see the area. The complex has a canteen and prayer room for muslims.
