Tenggarong, up to Mahakam river from Samarinda, is the capital of Kutai regency and was once the seat of the Kutai sultanate.
The
Sultan’s palace at the riverside is now a museum where the old royal
paraphernalia are kept, as well as an excellent collection of antique
Chinese ceramics. Dayak statues can be admired in the yard.
A curious
thing about the royal paraphernalia is that they display a strong
resamblance with Java’s court traditions. Every 24th of September, the
former palace becomes a stage of dance and music performances given to
celebrate the town’s anniversary.
