The Lambung Mangkurat Museum
The museum, covering the history and culture of South Kalimantan, is a worth of short visit and if you interested in the area's history you could stay longer, but you need an english speaking guide. A good way to see the museum is stop there on your way to diamond fields, Rumah Jomblo, Kiram or Martapura diamond market.
Unfortunately the museum has only copies (the originals are in Jakarta , as usual) of large bronze pieces from Hindu period, and a model of Candi Laras, a temple from that time. There are also a large scale of the Sultans wood palace, palace clothing, model ships and fishing gear, a red sugar processing apparatus, the royal gamelan and Javanese style masks, weaving tools, and various old ornaments. There is even a genealogical chart listing all past rulers of Banjarmasin.
There is some Dayak art here too, including some funerary pieces and carvings. There are couple of dragon heads on display, which were used in weddings and were presumably a carryover from preMuslim times. Parked just outside the man building is an elaborate ruler's canoe, called a tambangan, covered with decoration. A separate building holds an exhibition by Gusti Sholihin Hassan, a locally famous painter of semi-abstract potraits.
The museum open at 08.30 until 14.00. Shoes must be removed to visit upstairs part of museum. Traditional dance are occasionally performed here on. Sundays and holidays.
