A Museum with a taste of Home

Aug 2017 • Solo

This former British Consul building & Japanese Navy Officer Private House were interestingly far from the image of museum you would met at Jakarta nowadays. it was more like a little house when you could spent the time laughing and playing while hearing the old BBC or NIROM broadcast playing Alexander's Ragtime Band.

According to history, Proklamasi text was composed in Admiral Maeda's house. Admiral Maeda was Japanese navy who fully supported Indonesia freedom. This museum was actually Admiral Maeda's house.

According to history as well, the authentic Proklamasi text was written in handwriting. Then 3 months after August 1945, Sayuti Melik found the Proklamasi text on garbage. Being an RRI radio journalist, Sayuti Melik typed the Proklamasi text in typing machine. But I don't know why in this museum & in Soekarno movie portrayed Sayuti Melik was present at Admiral Maeda's house as the Proklamasi text typist.
