Javanese Heritage museum
Reviewed By stefanusw93
This museum located in Kaliurang and quite far from downtown Yogyakarta. However, it has exquisite exterior and interior building with natural design. It has lots of private collection from collectors that remark the Mataram and Ngayogyakarta Sultan. This museum is private owned, there for quite pricey for the entrance fees, but it's worth it. They also provide tour guide included with entrance fees.

An interesting monument and a great museum that commemorates and tells the story of the battle of Surabaya very well. It situates it well in the wider struggle for Indonesian independence, but the museum doesn't go into so much detail there, background knowledge helps. However it covers the battle in great detail, and has an array of information, photos, maps, dioramas and actual weapons used in the battle. Very friendly staff with great knowledge and a high level of English. They even approached me and asked if two new younger staff could practice their presentations in English, which is amazing to see, a great practice that shows how much they care about the museum and people's experience. Although they were young, once again their knowledge and English was amazing. The museum and staff rightfully take pride in showcasing a key part of Surabayan and Indonesian history.

Taman Prasasti Museum is very different with any other Museum. It's fully outdoor, the ambience brought us to back in 1800. Although it's a cemetary, but we didn't feel spooky at all. Very artistic graveyard, feels like in Europe at the summer time :) . Don't forget to bring your camera, or your mobile phone with great camera. There are a lot of interesting spot you can take shot. For the dress code, I suggest to wear white or black. It's very good for your photograph result.

We drove a car directly from Semarang airport, it was easy to find this place guided by google map. This is actually an old railway station, that is already closed. Maybe because I was a train commuter, I did enjoy visiting this museum. Not much you can find there: some old locomotives and train wagons, old ticket machines, old uniform. I also enjoyed seeing photos and writings about the brief train history in Indonesia. My kids were so excited to see old train wagons made of wood. They played how to change the railway direction. We also checked on how they turn the locomotive in old time. My boy was very happy to run back and forth the empty railway. The main attraction in this museum is that you can ride old train (train wagon made of wood and diesel locomotive) from this station to another station towards the mountain. Come early in the morning, we arrived around 9am, and we get the last ticket, without seats (you have to buy entrance ticket, then buy train ticket inside the museum). But we did enjoy the ride at the connection between the 2 train wagons. The sights were beautiful. The whole trip took about 30 minutes: 10 minutes going up, 10 minutes turn the locomotive, 10 minutes going back. Bring your own breakfast dan lunch, you can have a picnic while waiting. There is also a train library, they have activies for children, while adult can read some history books. There were nice photo spots as well.

This museum located in the middle of traditional market (known as Pasar Lama Tangerang), reachable within walking distance from Tangerang Station. It has private collections of the owner, hence no photos allowed. Providing tour guide. Close every Monday. Unique souvenirs: kecap Benteng (sweet soy sauce),white tea and ngo hiang. This museum and its Chinatown surrounds is a little bit modest compared to glamorous Chinatown in Jakarta (Glodok/Petak Sembilan). The owner still preserved the old humble structure of the building. When I went there, I was in group of 20 person and luckily the owner himself did some presentation about history of Tangerang Chinese and Chinese in Indonesia
