Abstract

The  Mandar museum as the symbol of the Mandar’s identity has been neglected  since the local government  has not given adequate attention to the preservation of cultural heritage. This results in an implication that the next generation will be difficult to understand the source of knowledge about the treasury of their ancestors’ religious and cultural wealth. This article elaborates the existence of the Mandar museum in developing the Mandar community’s socio-cultural life through  collectibles. This study was built under a qualitative, descriptive, and interpretive conceptual framework.  The finding was that the entity of the museum possesses  a deep meaning in terms of its functions as the Mandar’s symbol and identity . It also records an Islamic trace as a religion compatible with the cultural taste and the soul of the Mandar community.  This proved that Islam accepts and respects the richness of the cultural traditions of the Mandar's customs.  A harmonious integration between Islam and the customs emerges, so that  a term “Islam-Mandar” appears.
