We took up the offer of a guide (included in the entry price) which I would recommend. She was very informative and of course friendly as are all people from Yogyakarta! There is a shop attached although it doesn’t have a huge range. You are not allowed to take photos in the museum. If you’re interested in the history of batik then I highly recommend this museum.

Went in to do a 2-hour batik workshop and it ended up taking almost 3, but the time flew by! It was really fun and a good challenge, I have a newfound respect for the batik makers now! We started by choosing our design, which was pencil-drawn on cloth. Then we sat with our cloth and the tool to scoop up the wax and use the wax to trace over the pencil design. We were able to watch a woman with years of experience work on a product with tracing perfection. She fixed our wax when we finished so that was nice :). After that, we used dyes and paintbrushes to color in the design, the wax ensuring the colors stayed within their area. Once they dried, we painted the backs with some sealer ooze and let them dry. Since I had to go, the batik museum completed my masterpiece for me and I picked it up at the 24/7 lobby of the batik hotel in the same parking lot, nicely folded and packaged.
To schedule, call Mrs. Isti at +62-822-4461-1883. You can also do the full 4-5 hour workshop to complete your personal batik from start to finish!

I’ve been to this museum several times for guiding friends, and I still enjoy it. with UNESCO declares Batik as Indonesia cultural heritage in 2001 and also World Cultural Council chooses Yogyakarta as Batik City in 2014, I think add more to fancy people buying Batik whenever coming to Yogyakarta, and for that, I always recommend visiting this museum, at least to know the history of Batik, types, and its evolution. imo, it is always nice to appreciate using Batik when knowing its history and how hard making it. one of their collections is also registered in MURI (the Indonesia World Records Museum)
another uniqueness of this museum is that it’s a family-owned batik museum which was opened since 1979, and it’s located on the same compound with their hotel. the grandson acts as the guide, and he really has great knowledge about Batik. the museum was started by his grands, Mr. Hadi Nugroho & R. Ng. Jumima Dewi Sukaningsih. Visitors can try fabric dyeing around 1 hour with the price of 40.000 IDR and can be as your souvenir. many my friends, especially the foreigner ones enjoy that activity and back home they framed their own result.
TIPS: if wish to get better explanation in English, you better call first the museum and hoping to have available guide in English. You might be lucky to have the grandson.

Small, privately run museum with impressive collection of historic batiks and batik patterns both from Yogyakarta and Solo as well as coastal Java.

Definitely the place to come before you buy any batik in order to understand the process, meaning and colours of batik. It was completely deserted when I went and I had two guides take me around.

Great collection of batik and stamps. The museum seems a little old but you will see the guide is excellent. Her english was very good and she even knew some french. She taught me a lot about how to create and wear batik.

Seems to be the official Batik Museum. Located away from the tourist area. While you can get to know about the process some, the main goal seems to be to seel batiks to you.

Wherever you go in the streets of Jogia you get hundreds of people shouting "batik" "batik " at you. However, one of the locals told us that if you want to buy a batik go here (as it's government run and it's one price). This was right up our street as you get fed up of haggling! They have a fantastic selection something for everyone and prices are reasonable too.

Yogyakarta Batik Museum is located directly next to the Hotel Museum Batik. They are under the same owner. It was started by the patriarch who used to be in the batik business.
The museum has an extensive collection of batik, even back to the 19th century. There is a guide who will take you from one section to another, patiently explaining the various stages of batik making and the various types of batik.
There are so many varieties of batik here to amaze you. Well worth the time to visit.

Most of the Souvenir are very interested and the price is fair. But they can't speak English Language. They always say Javanese Language. Other wise, they made fixed price whatever you want and need or something like that.
