Hatta in 1956, the old musicians, pioneers of education in Samarinda such as Atje Voorstad (Aminah Sjoekoer), local politicians and activists, and surely portraits of family figures. This gallery is dedicated for Samarinda as Ellie Hasan's hometown glory and looks at the faces of Samarinda people in the past. It expects and encourages its visitors to never forget the people of the past who strived to build and develop the city, to look at the energy of activities-fashion-social life of the Samarinda society in the 1927 - 1970s. It hopes that the past can inspire everyone who visits and enjoys the portraits to appreciate Samarinda more and so to make it a more inspiring city for all.
