The collection of the Mulawarman Museum is not what it used to be. A big
number of nice objects has been replaced to the Museum Nasional in Jakarta.
Another part has been given to high political leaders. Still, the museum has
several things to offer. An example is the high, nicely decorated Dayak totem
(belawang) near the entrance, with on top a rhinoceros-bird. The museum
contains regalia from the former sultan, among that gamelan-instruments,
sacred kris (knives) and nice pieces of clothing. The objects with beads in
the royal sleeping room is very special, as well as the chairs made from
deer-horn, with images of mythological animals. Furthermore interesting things
are the oldest known writings in Indonesia. The texts were written in Pallawan.

You should know that the tablets on display are made from paper-mache. The
stone originals from the 4th century are in the basement.
The museum contains several examples of Dayak handworks, but best Dayak art is
located in a hard-to-find location along the outskirts of the city. There you
can also see nice woodcarvings, especially related with the burial-culture of
the Benuaq and Tunjung. Behind the garden of the museum is the royal funeral
site of the sultans of Kutai. Because islam forbids display of humans and
animals, the scene is decorated with flower patterns as well as geometrical
patterns and calligraphed quran-texts.
The Mulawarman Museum is opened daily from 10 to 14, but closed on Mondays
(as is common in Indonesia). If it is closed during normal times, you can ask

In the main room of the museum, dances can be performed on Sundays. A show can
be arranged when paid for, and arranged a few days in advance.
