Museum Lampung

Museum Lampung, also known as Museum Negeri Provinsi Lampung Ruwa Jurai, is the provincial museum of Lampung located on Jl. ZA Pagar Alam in Gedong Meneng, Rajabasa, Bandar Lampung. Established in 1975 and inaugurated in 1988, it preserves and displays the cultural and historical heritage of Lampung. Its collections include traditional textiles, archaeological artifacts, ethnographic objects, and historical dioramas illustrating the province's diverse traditions and history.

Visitors can expect a two-storey provincial museum building with indoor exhibition halls displaying Lampung cultural heritage. Ground floor focuses on cultural collections such as tapis textiles, traditional clothing, household tools, and ceremonial objects, while upper floor presents archaeological finds, historical dioramas, and ethnographic displays. The museum is set along a main road near Universitas Lampung with a landscaped yard, parking area, and quiet indoor galleries suitable for self-guided viewing and guided tours.

Initiated in 1975 by the Lampung provincial government to preserve regional heritage, the museum building was constructed in the late 1970s and officially inaugurated as Museum Negeri Provinsi Lampung on 24 September 1988. It serves as the central repository for archaeological, historical, and cultural objects found across Lampung Province.

The museum embodies the Ruwa Jurai identity of Lampung, representing the two major customary groups Pepadun and Saibatin. It preserves and presents tapis weaving, traditional ceremonies, adat houses, and cultural artifacts that illustrate Lampung's traditions, social structure, and artistic heritage for education and cultural preservation.
