West Kalimantan Provincial Museum (Languages of Indonesia: Museum Provinsi Kalimantan Barat) is a museum in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, near Tanjungpura University.

The concrete reliefs on the museum's exterior depict the lifestyles of Kalbar's two largest ethnic minorities: Malay and Dayak.[1] The museum contains a number of important Dayak artifacts such as tribal clothing and handicrafts and is known for its 16th century tempayan (water jugs)[2] from Thailand, China and Borneo.[3] There is a replica of a Dayak longboat around the corner from the museum.
