Museum Nasional Indonesia

Experiencia fantástica: I was blown away by the diverse collection of items this museum has. I have seen a lot of museums (in different countries including south Asia, south east Asia, Europe and USA) showing cultural history of a society, but I felt that this one is probably the only complete historical museum I have seen till date. It covers diverse aspects of Indonesia. Right from historical kingdoms, religion and ethnicity of people, their rituals, culture, food habits, clothing, ornaments, daily essentials, tools, weapons...almost every aspect of the Indonesian people is covered here. Its visually stunning and you just can not get enough if it. Another commendable thing is despite it being so vast, it is very well maintained and well managed. They do charge a nominal fee, but its well worth it. A must must visit if you are in Jakarta.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to this museum a couple of hours before closing. Beware that they close already at 4pm, so get there early, because you can easily spend more than 2 hours here. There are multiple floors and exhibitions, that showcase the old history of Indonesia. Highly recommended, and good access to see other things in Jakarta.

Experiencia fantástica: I love history. I love museum. Museum Nasional Indonesia surprisingly keep some interesting and wonderful artifacts. And now the whole museum has been rearranged, become more interesting and nicer to browse around. There are also volunteers who speak English, Japanese, and Korean for foreign visitors.

Experiencia fantástica: Well managed museum. Their collection is very very complete if i may say, one of the best place to learn about Indonesian history. The place is very clean, staffs are friendly. General admission is very cheap compares to what we could get inside the museum. You only need to pay 5k rupiah to enter this museum.

Experiencia fantástica: Biggest museum in Jakarta (probably in Indonesia), located in Medan Merdeka area, super strategic and easy to reach. Parking area is very wide, both for car and motorcycle. Parking area is in the basement, so you need a little walk to get into the museum. General admission is very cheap, i don't remember exact price, but it's in range of 5k-10k rupiahs. I recommend you to buy the ticket in advance from their website, but it's okay if you buy the ticket on the spot. Their collections are very diverse and complete. It's a best place to learn about the Indonesian history, from prehistoric era until the modern era. This museum is very well managed, applause for the management. Sometime they held a non-permanent exhibition and music concert as well. So i think it's a good move by the management, to make the image of museum from a place that is so segmented, to be a public place that is opened for everyone. 5/5 stars.
