Buntu Kalando Museum - Sangalla - Tana Toraja

2006

The Museum Buntu Kalando at Sangalla, Tana Toraja has a lot of things from Toraja in the past. From the noble war clothes to household tools, traditional musical instruments, and old chinese ceramics.

Unfortunately, the care and maintenance of the museum collections doesn't adequate to preserve all the historical collections.

In April 2006, the torajaland team visited the Museum and perpetuate some of the museum's collections in pitcures. Hopefully, this pictures will bring back government's (and all toraja) concern to help the preservation of museum collections.
