This museum is must visit when you go Medan. It gives you a lot information about cultural heritage in North Sumatra. Too bad the av room not working, I believe it will give better information and experience. They should have renovate the toilet 😅, and have cafetaria.

Very informative museum for the region. Beautiful architecture and layout for the exhibitions. The Thai section was unexpected and a pleasant surprise.

This museum well worth a visit if your in Medan. 2 levels. Interesting exhibits. Good lighting. Descriptions are in English as well as Indonesian. Parking onsite.

The rich history of North Sumatra is on display with timeless artifects which is well maintained. My only gripe would be that you are left on your own to figure out the route to take to cover the entire museum.. A brochure with directional guidance to navigate the various rooms across the 2 winged floors would have been very helpful to the visitors.

Loved how the museum set up the history of Indonesia. It was very interesting to walk through, esp with Medan being our first stop in a 29 day tour through the country. We did get bit by mosquitos while in the museum. They need to do a few repairs, esp in women’s bathroom. Overall a good place to go and learn about the country.

An aesthetic museum in Medan, you can find many spot photos while learning the history of North Sumatera. The charging fee is cheap around Rp3000 per person, where you can feel comfortable in the museum. It has strategic places, beside the center road, but it is closed at 4pm.

This place could really use some professional touch. Toilet is awful, some collections are put just like that, and not much information available for visitors. No flyers nor guidance. But the ticket officer is friendly.

Well, I wasn't even charged for a ticket. I was just requested to fill some personal info on a registration book. I don't even know why. This two-floor museum actually has a lot of things to see. However most exhibits do not have high value and lack descriptions. Even if there are descriptions, they are the general ones not specifically about the exhibit on display so you don't even know how old an exhibit is. Not so much a professional exhibition for a state-level museum. Still a nice experience provided it's free or cheap enough, though I was in fact a bit disappointed. Also there are many locals here who seem to treat it like a playground and I have no idea what their roles are even whether they are visitors or staffs. The cleaning lady made very irritating noises when cleaning the staircase.
