SUMATRA UTARA MUSEUM (NORTH SUMATRA)

Located south of the Royal Mosque, not far from the "Sisingamangaraja" bemos station, this museum, inaugurated in 1954 by President Saekarno, presents a historical overview of the province of North Sumatra, with archaeological artifacts, ethnographic objects, fine arts and natural history. The building, easily recognizable, is shaped like a Batak house. Don't worry: all texts are translated from Bahasa Indonesian into English. Worth seeing.
