The results showed that the collection of ancient objects from Jember's history varied greatly with a total of more than 600. A number of collections have been placed in the Antiquities Collection Room, with very limited maintenance, and the room conditions that are not yet representative. For this reason, museum is an alternative solution as a place to store ancient art collection, as well as a part of historical tourism in Jember.
