Museum Sumatera Selatan houses finds from Sriwijayan times, as well as megalithic carvings from the Pasemah Highlands, including the famous batu gajah (elephant stone) and almost spherical fertility statue with a humongous bosom. Other worthwhile displays include a rich collection of finely woven songkets . There is a magnificent rumah limas (traditional house) behind the museum. The museum is about 5km from the town centre off the road to the airport.
