This research aims to examine the development of the Batiwakkal Museum in an effort to preserve the history and culture of the community in Berau Regency during the period 1992-2020. The background of this research is based on the importance of museums as institutions that play a role in preserving local cultural and historical heritage. The purpose of this research is to explain the process pf physical development, management, and social function of the Batiwakkal Museum since its inauguration until today, as well as to examine its role in strengthening the cultural identity of the Berau people. This research uses historical methods, through four stages, namely heuristic, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The results of the study show that the Batiwakkal Museum has developed from a repository of artifacts to an educational and cultural tourism center that plays a role in introducing the history of the Gunung Tabur Sultanate to the younger generation. In addition, this museum is also a symbol of local pride and a means of strengthening the traditional values of the Berau people. Increased collections, community involvement, and government support have also strengthened the museum’s function as a means of learning history and preserving local culture. Overall, the Batiwakkal Museum has succeeded in carrying out its role as an institution for the preservation of the history and cultural identity of the Berau people and as an educational forum for the values of their encestral heritage.
