The location of the present museum was originally the location of the Kuta Lama, the old palace of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I (1724-1758), sovereign of the Palembang Sultanate. Following the abolition of the Palembang Sultanate, the palace of Kuta Lama was demolished by the British colonial government on October 7, 1823.[1] The abolition of the Sultanate was a form of punishment made by the British colonial government toward the Palembang Sultanate for the massacre that occurred in the Dutch lodge Sungai Alur, although this may have been a political movement to remove the sovereignty of the Sultanate from the city.[2]
The huis of the Resident in Palembang during the jubileum of Queen Wilhelmina.
Immediately after the demolition of the Kuta Lama, in 1823, a new building was built on top of the ruin.[2][3] The first building was completed in 1824 and was named Gedung Siput ("snail building").[4] Later the building was rebuilt into the building that currently stands on the site. The new building is a two-floored stone building built in a style which blend European style with the tropical architecture of the Indies, focusing on the traditional rumah bari style found in Palembang. In 1825, the building was used as the office for the colonial resident.[1] In the 1920s the building was renovated with the addition of more glass.[2]
During the World War II, the building was used as the military headquarters of the Japanese occupants.
Following the independence of Indonesia, the building became the headquarter for the Kodam II/Sriwijaya Indonesian Army for a short period. The building was later transferred to the government of Palembang before finally converted into a museum in 1984.[2] The collecting of objects for Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum was started in 1984 when the rumah bari, an authentic limas house, was transported to a new location at Balaputradeva Museum. Some collections that were previously housed in the rumah bari was moved to Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum.[2]

Missed a chance to visit this museum during my stay at Palembang as I have a tight schedule to be attended to. Will surely come and pay a visit to this place if I happens to visit Palembang next time. Just managed to snap a few pictures of nearby Palembang's prominent tourist attractions such as The Masjid Agung, Monpera and the historical Ampera Bridge. Learn a few words from the locals " Orang Kito Galo - We are all locals here".

If you're interested in visiting historical places while in Palembang, this place is a must visit, you have to put it in the list. Inside, you will see Palembang in the past. The building itself is an old one with classic architecture design. Taking photos in this place will give you a nice looking photo!

This is a good museum. It houses some artefact, culture properties, information, few diorama, and even several stuffed animal collections.
Unfortunately it is poorly maintained. The price could be increased to paid for the maintenance.

Saya belum pernah masuk ke museum ini. pengen sih, tapi kok bingung masuknya gak ada ketetanhlgan harus gimana, gratiskah atau bayar, beli tiket kah atau gimana. Tapi satu yang saya salut buat museum ini, tiap sabtu malam ada pagelaran musik gratis bertema, bikin makin cinta daerah dan suasananya asik banget.. sempet ngabdiin momen itu (cek di link youtube saya). Pertahanin ya acara kayak gini, soalnya tiap sabtu malem saya pasti mampir dan membangun rasa cinta daerah
