Śrīvijaya Kingdom that centered in South Sumatera is one of the highest peak of culture in the Indonesian Archipelago. The kingdom evolved from 7th to 13th Century AD. Several achievements that made Śrīvijaya Kingdom become a great maritime country and very influential in South East region are as follows, commanded the trade route in Malaka Strait and Sunda Strait; had a trade relations with China, India, Arab, Persia, and Madagascar; built a strategic area as a maritime base for commercial interest and sovereignty protection; built a Buddhist and Sanskrit center; and also built tolerance to religions in society. Śrīvijaya is not just a knowledge from the past, it should bring benefits to Indonesia as a nation. The spirit of actualization, the greatness, and the culture and historical values should inspire and motivate Indonesian people to build a great archipelagic nation. The knowledge of Śrīvijaya could be inherited through formal and informal education, and social activities such as sports activities, arts activities, and cultural activities. Another strategic way is to build “Rumah Peradaban Śrīwijaya” (House of Śrīvijaya Civilization). Rumah Peradaban Śrīvijaya is a building complex that embodies a research and information center, museum as an educational and social facility, and also public space
Kerajaan Śrīwijaya yang berpusat di Sumatera bagian selatan dan berkembang pada abad ke-7-13 M. merupakan salah satu puncak budaya Nusantara. Menguasai jalur perdagangan di Selat Malaka dan Selat Sunda; menjalin hubungan dagang dengan Cina, India, Arab, Persia, dan Madagaskar; membangun kawasan-kawasan strategis sebagai pangkalan armada untuk kepentingan dagang dan menjaga wilayah kedaulatan; membangun pusat pendidikan agama Budha dan bahasa Sanskerta; serta membina toleransi beragama, merupakan capaian-capaian sekaligus nilai-nilai yang menjadikannya negara maritim yang besar dan sangat berpengaruh di kawasan regional Asia Tenggara pada zamannya. Śrīwijaya bukan sekedar pengetahuan masa lampau, tetapi hendaknya bermanfaat bagi masyarakat dan bangsa Indonesia. Aktualisasi semangat, kebesaran, serta nilai-nilai sejarah dan budaya yang dimilikinya hendaknya menjiwai, menginspirasi, dan memotivasi kita dalam membangun bangsa kepulauan yang besar. Caranya mewariskan pengetahuan tentang Śrīwijaya beserta nilai-nilai yang dimilikinya melalui pendidikan formal dan informal, berbagai kegiatan pemasyarakatan, kegiatan olah raga, seni, dan budaya. Cara lain yang sangat strategis adalah membangun “Rumah Peradaban Śrīwijaya”, sebuah kompleks yang mewadahi pusat penelitian dan informasi, museum sebagai sarana edukasi dan pemasyarakatan, serta ruang publik.
