Days At The Museums #DAY2

*…continued from previous post*


Honestly, I'm surprised I've gotten this far typing the 'Days At The Museums' post again right now. Lol.

#DAY2

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF INDONESIA

The second day of my free time was so sunny. Fortunately, the air conditioning in the museum was working well so that I had no prob. The building was big enough, and it has a big yard outside. I amazed, the National Museum was different with other museums I've ever visited. Well organized, clean area, good display with beautiful garden. It was excellent for a museum with the entrance fee only Rp 5000. Definitely worth to visit.
This museum is also known as Elephant Museum, because of elephant sculpture made of bronze medal that given by King Chulalongkorn of Thailand in 1871, which is now on the front lawn of the building. National Museum has more than 140,000 collections consist of prehistoric, archeological, foreign ceramic, numismatic/heraldic, colonial, ethnographical and geographic.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES MUSEUM

National Archives Museum was originally the house of the former Governor-General of VOC; Reiner de Klerk, in the 18^th century.

Thing that caught my attention when I came here was the building's architecture. This main red brick bulding has two floors with a high roof, carved door and vintage windows. It also has a large garden at the front and rear of the main house. Beautiful design of colonial building.
