Museum Asi Mbojo, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
4.0 (6 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #3 in Sumbawa History Museums
A humble palace
I always love to come to this kind of place, they have their own stories to tell that the book of history at your school never mentioned and I was very lucky to meet such a wonderful staff that willing to explain all the things that inside the museum 1st floor had a lot of handicrafts, Keris (local weapon that also stated on one’s status), tools and also the crown that was made from golds with lots of diamonds (although they only show the picture of it ), old manuscript and steam tools that even the Dutch itself didn’t know about it (they presume it was a little canon since it really do look like canon with a rather small size) 2nd floor was the bedroom of sultan family and guest (1st Indonesia president had stayed here before), bathroom, servant room and throne area. It was amazing because it’s far from luxury images that I had when I saw all of the gold downstairs

Odd but out of ordinary.
It's not a great museum, but if you have a sixth sense, this place is just for you. It is better if you take a guide because they will tell you all the story about Bima. Yes i like any other museum, but once the king lived there. Fun fact, now the king live besides of this museum, and if you have enough courage, you can visit his house. I did.
