South Sulawesi Governor Syahrul YL is scheduled to inaugurate the Balla Lompa Museum in Gowa regency, South Suluwesi, on Wednesday.
Situated around 10 kilometers from Makassar, the museum contains a collection of hundreds of artifacts from the Gowa Kingdom, tribunnews.com reported.
The museum is being inaugurated after it is lifted, about 3 meters off the ground. Thanks to this unique ceremony, it will also receive a certificate from the Indonesian Record Museum as the first museum to be lifted manually.
During its heyday, the Gowa Kingdom covered several other provinces in the Eastern part of Indonesia. One of the kings was I Mallombassi Daeng Matawang Karaeng Bontomangape Sultan Hasanuddin, who has been nominated by the government as a national hero.
