If you have the chance to visit Siantar city in Indonesia, Bali province, I, mr.hotsia, recommend you stop bySiantar MuseumThis place. It’s not just an ordinary museum but an ancient house built with a gable roof shaped like a “buffalo horn,” which I must say is very unique and striking compared to anything I’ve seen on my travels.

This house is located in the heart of Siantar city, a city I always stroll through whenever I visit this province. The museum’s charm lies in its collection of antiques that genuinely reflect the local way of life, including traditional clothing, household items, fishing tools, and even ancient weapons that deeply tell the story of the people in this area.

As a traveler who loves discovering unique items and local stories, I, mr.hotsia, really appreciate the craftsmanship of each displayed piece. Most importantly, the buffalo horn-shaped roof house, which is the symbol of this museum, makes it unforgettable and I highly recommend Thai travelers who enjoy exploring to see it for themselves.
