Museum of Adityawarman

The museum was built to commemorate Adityawarman, a king of Minangkabau enthroned in the 14th century AD. We can find out about the great history of him through some ancient inscriptions found in Saruaso, Lima Kaum, Pagaruyung, and the Bhirawa statue (now in the National Museum – Jakarta). This museum has a collection of ethnology and archeological objects of the Minangkabau people in West Sumatra.
