Abstract
Karaeng Pattingalloang Museum plays an important role in the community as a center of history, education, religion, and culture, particularly in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. For the continuity of this role, maintenance efforts are needed on the wood of the Museum building. Thus, it can be used for a long time. This research aimed to determine the level of damage caused by wood-damaging organisms in the Museum building, evaluate and document the characteristics or signs of damage that occur in buildings, and identify organisms that attack the building. Destructive organisms observed attacking the Museum’s wood were identified based on the signs of the attack found. The results showed that soil termites, dry wood termites, and coloring molds were organisms that attack the wood of the Karaeng Pattingalloang Museum building. Damage to the components of this building was classified as a severe attack even though the intensity was less than 0.5% with the occurrence of attacks found on poles, window frames, and walls.
