Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum is a municipal museum in Palembang, Indonesia. The museum is established inside a 19th-century building former of the office of the colonial resident of South Sumatra. The building also houses the tourist department of Palembang.
History
The location of the present museum was originally the place of the Kuta Lama, the old palace of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I (1724-1758), sovereign of the Palembang Sultanate. Following the abolition of the Palembang Sultanate, the Kuta Lama building was demolished by the British colonial government on October 7, 1823.[1] The reason of the abolition of the Sultanate was a punishment made by the British colonial government toward the Palembang Sultanate for the massacre of the Dutch lodge the Sungai Alur, although this may have been a political movement to remove the sovereignty of the Sultanate from the city.[2]
Immediately after the demolition of the Kuta Lama, in 1823, a new building was built on top of the ruin.[2][3] The first building was completed in 1824 and was named Gedung Siput ("snail building").[4] Later the building was expanded into the building that stands now. The new building is a two-floored stone building built in a style which blend European style with tropical architecture of the Indies, focusing on the traditional style found in Palembang. In 1825, the building was used as the office for the colonial resident.[1] In the 1920s the building was renovated with the addition of more glass.[2]
During the World War II, the building was used as the military headquarter of the Japanese occupants.
Following the independence of Indonesia, the building became the headquarter for the Kodam II/Sriwijaya Indonesian Army for a short period. The building is later transferred to the government of Palembang before finally converted into a museum in 1984.[2] The collecting of objects for Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum was started in 1984 when the rumah bari, an authentic limas house, was transported to a new location at Balaputradeva Museum. Some collections that were previously housed in the rumah bari was moved to Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum.[2]
Collection and artifacts
Some of the collection of the museum was the predictable South Sumatran textiles, weapons, traditional dress, crafts and coins. The gardens of the museum is filled with artefacts from the Srivijayan period, e.g. statues of Ganesha and Buddha.
