National Museum of Indonesia

The National Museum of Indonesia (NNI) formerly served as the Batavia Art and Science Society, established by the Dutch government. Therefore, the current building retains its Dutch European style. It was closed for over a year and recently reopened. It is divided into two areas: the old area has six themed exhibition halls, and the new area has four. The most eye-catching feature at the entrance is the sculpture of the God of Destruction. Its Indian-style design creates a sinister aura, and it is one of the few depictions of Shiva with a sinister image in the world. Then there is a bronze statue presented by King Rama V in 1871. Of course, the museum's crowning jewel is the Bodhisattva statue on the second floor, which is exquisitely crafted. It was previously enclosed in a glass case, but now it is completely uncovered. There are also art galleries and various cultural centers scattered throughout the museum. However, for a multi-ethnic country like Indonesia, a national museum like this doesn't quite match the rich cultural heritage of the country, whether in terms of history or humanities. Tickets are affordable, and you can explore it in half a day.

If you are a first time visitor to Indonesia, and you are arriving through Jakarta, the National Museum of Indonesia, right smack in the city centre, is a must visit as it is a comprehensive well-explained museum that gives you a good introduction to the diverse tapestry that is Indonesia.Two things in particular stand out. First, you will see an entire garden filled with statues from Hindu mythology, showing the immense role that Hinduism played in the early history of Southeast Asia. The second is the display of Indonesia’s many diverse ethnic groups. There is a huge map that shows you that, but what I liked more was the interactive segment where you could scan your face and the machine would tell you which ethnic group you resemble! For me I was matched with Sangir people!

The National Museum of Jakarta is located in the center of Jakarta, near many attractions, such as the Independence Square and the Presidential Palace. We originally planned to visit, but unfortunately, maybe our time was wrong, so tickets could not be sold for the time being. The white building is very beautiful, European-style architecture.

Not many people, slowly experience! You can't use cash to buy tickets at the door, you can only use credit cards

I've been to museums in China, but this one is smaller than I thought. I can get out in half an hour at most (including taking photos). When you come to a new place, you have to experience the local characteristics (especially those that you can't see in China). This place can be considered one of them, some Javanese culture, the following photos are some. But the most attractive thing is the whole skeleton in the glass coffin on the first floor, which feels a bit like an adventure.

The National Museum of Indonesia is located near the Independence Square. Take the Transjkt to Monas Station, get off and cross the road to get there. It is very convenient. The ticket price is 10,000 Indonesian rupiah. The museum talks about the origin of Indonesian aborigines, two categories, giant and child. The giant is giant, and the small is child. The museum also talks about ceramics, which were first brought by the Chinese during the Han Dynasty. In short, as a national museum, it is worth a visit.

See? Heritage is really important to them. I was amazed how good were they in terms of arts. The exhibits there were so fascinating. They kept even the gold ones. They were able to preserve those antique through centuries. Even bones and the history of their humanity is evident.

The project, designed by Aboday, is the first prize-winning project of the Indonesian National Museum. It aims to bring back this huge institution to its original role as a public facility. It is designed to maintain open pedestrians and urban parks in the east by inserting a new corridor between existing museum buildings (A) and (B). Called the Museum Corridor, this future city streams East-West coaxiality, further organizing and helping visitors navigate the museum's journeys. Shadowed by a huge city canopy, designers introduce new activities along the corridor to attract more audiences. A series of social and commercial nodes, such as bookstores, Museum stores, location/exhibition halls and catering, are arranged between the slender steel-shaped corridors. In this catering paradise city, people will be attracted.
