Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alamsyah Museum

The Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alamsyah Museum is a historical and cultural museum located in the heart of Tanjungpinang's old town area. This building was formerly the first Malay school in the Riau Islands, founded in 1918 by Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alamsyah II, a pivotal figure in the development of Malay education and culture during the Riau-Lingga Sultanate era.

Currently, this historic building functions as a museum housing a collection of historical relics, cultural artifacts, and documentation of the development of Malay and Chinese communities in Bintan. Inside, visitors can find traditional attire, traditional tools, ancient manuscripts, colonial-era photographs, and documentation of the Riau-Lingga Sultanate's important role in Malay culture.

This museum is not only appealing to history enthusiasts but also to students, researchers, and tourists who wish to understand Bintan's socio-cultural context more deeply. The building's interior retains its colonial Malay style, with large windows, tall wooden doors, and sturdy classic wall structures.

Its location is strategic and easily accessible, just about 5 minutes from Tanjungpinang City center. As it is part of the old town area, the museum is often visited alongside other destinations such as the piers, Senggarang temples, and traditional culinary centers.

For group or educational visits, the museum management provides local guides who can explain the context and history of the collection directly. It is advisable to contact them in advance if coming in a group or outside regular visiting hours.
