Museum
of West Kalimantan is a modern building that decorated with local ornament. The
objects of historic relics are stored and displayed properly. At the front of
the museum, the visitor can see a relief depicting the events of the struggle
for independence (online source)
As
today is public holiday so the museum is closed but we still can see some replica
houses at outside of museum.
Replica
houses included Betang House, Limas House, Ismahayana Palace Landak,
Al-Mukkaramah Palace Sintang ang many more. All those house looks beautiful.
Pancar
is a gate entering a village or symbol of village guard which found at Darit
area, Landak district. The two poles or pancar poles are craved with human,
animal and plant motif which symbolize inhabitant of universe.
Museum
Kalimantan Barat is quite near with Traditional House Betang in Jalan Jenderal
Ahmad Yani. Therefore, can pay a visit to these two places.
We
rest in Restoran Sari Bento that located
inside of museum. I saw many people come to this restaurant for steamboat. I
ordered a glass of Aloe Vera juice, as I knew that Pontianak has Aloe Vera
Farm.
Beside
inside, you also can choose to dine at outside of restaurant. It has a small
playground at there. The
surroundings of outside restaurant is nice.

Opening Hour: Monday & Public Holiday
closed
This reminds me of the museum in Tokyo where they have lots of old things outside for visitors to see but they never closed even on public holidays.
ReplyDeleteTwilight Man,
DeleteAlthough it closed on public holiday, as outside of museum has some old things so at least I have something to see or take photo.
