Museum
House of Sampoerna consists of several buildings; a main building and two additional buildings located on the left and right side of the main building. The main building consists of two floors, the first floor contains photos of the founder of Sampoerna, miniature grocery stores, collections of kebaya used by the Sampoerna family, various types of collections used in the manufacturing process, and collections of matches since ancient times. On the second floor, it consists of galleries that sell typical Surabaya souvenirs and activities for making clove cigarettes produced by Sampoerna, but tourists are not allowed to take photos or pictures. Next to the main building of the House of Sampoerna is a luxury car parked neatly as a sweetener of the building. This car is a luxury British 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow used by the Sampoerna family.
