In Tanjung Pura District there is a historical museum building in Langkat Regency, but this building is now less active and less suitable to be used as a museum which should be like a museum. -Other active museums. By redesigning the Langkat Regency museum building, applying the Neo Vernacular Malay approach, where the Langkat area is a Malay land, it can be hoped that its function will be active again so that the local community and the outside community can see it again and become a means of education about the history and heritage of the Langkat Regency area..
