A really interesting museum! Filled with historical artefacts and mining equipments from PT.Timah, there is also an augmented reality sandbox which is very exciting to played with, and a broad range of varying rocks which you can observe, touch, and documented, collected from Bangka - Belitung with differeny minerals! The hospitality is also very nice, you are welcomed and guided very patiently by the workers there... Overall 5/5! Will go there a second time

Very interesting place to visit, the museum management is preparing the tour guide to explain and tell some stories to the visitors. the tour guide is professional and really understand the history. It was nice and educational, the material and good stuffs shown are interesting. the toilet is not big but surely clean. I don't remember the ticket, but it wasnt expensive and definitely worth it.
As a major tin mine producer, Bangka has its own Tin Museum or Museum Timah so you can learn everything about tin and its mine from beginning process until the final products. The good thing about the the museum is 199% free. The installation is good but could've been better with a small upgrade from the graphic design division. For the management, please keep the museum cleans and the maintenance.
A great museum on Indonesian tin mining and industry as well as the history of Bangka since 1st century, a must visit place when in pangkalpinang...
This museum was awarded as the 1st tin museum in Asia. It's located at Pangkalpinang, just around 30 minutes from Depati Amir Airport in Pangkalpinang. The visitors can learn about the origin of tin in Bangkabelitung as well as enjoy city touring in 15 destinations around Pangkalpinang.
We should know how rich of Indonesia's mineral deposite, we can find knowledge in here.
Museum is the best place if you want to know about history, in this case is the history of tin in Indonesia. You can learn more about tin and PT Timah history, from the first ever tin used as currency and accessories until how it is processed and exported by PT Timah is explained here. The Informations here are easy to understand. What i really interested here is the information about thorium whom the guide said its sample and information is available here, but actually it doesnt (well it is to be expected since thorium is a radioactive material like uranium ). I'm not bored to say " i respect locals who visit a museum " since there only a few locals who is interested in visiting museum (almost all museum i've ever visited, the visitor there mostly foreigners)
You can learn about tin and it's history here, particularly about tin in Bangka Belitung. If you come at weekdays you can visit the pewter crafting just 3-4 blocks to the right of the museum.
