Walking ToThe Balanga Palangka Raya

This time I will tell you about a trip to the Balanga Museum in Palangka Raya. Last week, during the second hour of our Islamic civilization history class, our whole class was asked to visit the museum to learn about the history of the indigenous Dayak tribe in the past. Before leaving, one of us, as a representative, collected money for the museum entrance fee and the tour guide's fee when we arrived at the museum later. After collecting the money, we set off.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the lecturer who taught the course. Before entering the museum, we took some photos for memories. After that, we entered and started registering and finding a tour guide who would lead us around the museum later.

We started exploring the museum, and the tour guide began explaining the significance of the items in the museum, such as the origins of Palangkaraya city, cultural traditions in ancient times, cultural and religious civilizations, war artifacts like spears, cannons, machetes, and more. There were two museum buildings there. In the first building, there were cultural and religious artifacts. This first building had two floors. In the second building, there was only one floor containing history about governors and heroes from the past. The exhibits included battle attire, wedding attire of the heroes, and there was also an album of meetings during wartime.

Besides weapons and battle attire, in the second building, there were also preserved animals turned into unique but somewhat creepy statues, in my opinion.

After finishing the museum visit, we went back because our class time had ended. Okay, that's all for the story. See you again.
