Museum 10 November

Reviewed By simontP2169FQ - Melbourne, Australia

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.

Sampoerna Museum

As it goes with my title.. This is a must place to visit in Surabaya. Seriously, you have to clear your schedule for 1 or 2 hours, then go there. The museum is free to enter. On second floor, you can see the old "kretek" (Kretek are cigarettes made with a blend of tobacco, cloves and other flavors. The word "kretek" itself is an onomatopoetic term for the crackling sound of burning cloves) factory. And what I love from the second floor is that souveniers are sold there! Unlike common souveniers that you can easily find on the street, they sell something more unique. But note that almost all souveniers have very strong odor of the "kretek".
