 Museum Buya Hamka

On the shores of Lake Maninjau, in a village called the Land of Sirah, the Batang River State, that's where my parents' house. I still remember a house roof roofed bergonjong four, overlooking the lake, turn one's back to the east. The yard is not large, because the house was on the hillside. On the edge of the yard, planted grandmother (grandmother) bungaraya white, which always trimmed so easy for my mother drying fabric.

 

That Hamka began his life story contained in the autobiography entitled Memories of Life. In general, a picture like this Buya told not changed much. In places it is still erect a house-term bergonjong traditional Minangkabau house, with four horns. Its location, still on the hillside, overlooking scenic Lake Maninjau nan. The yard was completely wide-area, which was also decorated with flowers.
But, there are a number of details that are now -100 years later-much different. The house is no longer the old house because it has been renovated while maintaining original model. The roof was no longer the fibers, but rather a modern roof coated. Now the yard was covered with grass and decorated with colorful flowers, well-kept. To get to the house, visitors must climb the ladder as high as U-shaped cement approximately four meters. The most distinct, the house was no longer the residence. The building houses a museum that was born in Buya Hamka.
