Serambi Buya Syafii is the initiative of the Pusdalitbang Suara Muhammadiyah to preserve the legacy of Buya Ahmad Syafii Maarif's thoughts. It contains many kinds of Buya Syafii's intellectual heritage which until now has been well preserved and preserved, ranging from books, artifacts such as bicycles that he often uses, to other items that are closely related to Buya Syafii's life. The collection that stands out the most is Buya Syafii's 9000 book titles on various themes, including some of his personal works in various corners of the room.

Chairman of the Central Executive Board (PP) Muhammadiyah, Haedar Nasir explained that this place is also a vehicle for young people to get to know Buya Syafii and get to know the world through Buya's collections and works that are kept in this house. 

“This porch is the key to open knowledge, open the world and horizons of life for anyone who wants to come to this house. Buya has passed away but traces of his life always live with us," he said.

He also revealed that in this place the values ??of the former Chairman of PP Muhammadiyah were resurrected and passed on to the nation's generations.

“What we need to take from Buya as a Muhammadiyah figure is that from the beginning he followed KH Ahmad Dahlan to open the horizons of Muhammadiyah thinking to be more advanced and inclusive. That's what Buya taught him and he was always democratic in practicing Muhammadiyah." he added.
