What to do and see in Yogyakarta, Java: The Best History Museums
Yogyakarta boasts stunning architecture and a truly spiritual sensibility. The ancient Hindu temples of Prambanan look like hand-drizzled sand castles, while the Sultan's palace is reminiscent of a gilded music box filled with jewels. Known for its arts and handicrafts, Yogyakarta is a cultural hub, a nerve center for traditional and modern puppetry.

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.

The Palace complex was built in 1755–1756, led the chief architect was Sultan Hamengkubuwono I (The King I) who founded the Yogyakarta Sultanate. His architectural expertise was appreciated by the Dutch scientist Theodoor Gautier Thomas Pigeaud and Lucien Adam, who considered him a worthy successor of Pakubuwono II (founder of the Surakarta Sunanate). The palace layout, which followed the basic design of the old city of Yogyakarta, was completed in 1755-1756; another building was added by the next Sultan of Yogyakarta. Sultan's Palace is located inside the Sultan's area where also has other sites within; The Water Castle, The Royal Horse Carriage Museum, The Grand Palace Mosque, etc. You may explore and visit all great sites in one day to get experience and see the cultural heritages.
