Wasaka Museum
Museum Waja Sampai Kaputing
An independence war museum housed in a traditional Banjar stilt house, where the building itself is a fine example of local vernacular architecture.
The museum's name is an abbreviation of a Banjar motto meaning 'persevere to the end'. Its main building is a century-old Banjar 'Baroque' stilt house. Exhibits include weapons, documents, photographs and everyday objects from 1945–1949, when the people of South Kalimantan resisted the Dutch. The house stands by the river, and its carved interior doors, windows and floor structure are well preserved. It is on the north bank of the Martapura River in Sultan Adam district. Visitors can reach it by small boat or pedicab. A visit takes about 40 minutes, and admission is cheap.
