I have mixed feeling for this museum. I always interested in history and culture. Hence every time i travel to new place, i always look for for their museum. What's the best way to learn about the country and their people culture other that to visit their history isn't it? The good things is, its strategic location (right next/across to MONAS), the friendly staffs, cheap entrance and the aircond (to run from Jakarta 'hotness'). But the lack is, how they organize the artifact and the history itself. It's look all mess up. You'll see things that not supposed to be at the section. For example, you will suddenly see a Hindu-Buddha statue at 3rd floor when it supposed to be at the old building with all others statue. And some of the artifacts don't even have a description on it. Make you wonder, is that an artifact and or just a decoration. And lastly. Usually, for museum, they will organize all the artifact and information based on the timeline. but it's not that case for this museum. It's kinda disappointing since does have an interesting history and this museum have a lots of items that can tell the story better. Hopefully, they do something to improve the visitor experience instead of just filling all the empty space with whatever statue that suppose to belong with it's friends.

I found it is interesting as there are different sections and information display is in English as well as Bhasa. One section on Hindu and Buddhist is also interesting, though it is al little bit randomly displayed. Location is very central. I spent around 2 hours. Of course like any museum there will be too many things to see.

National Museum has very diverse collections. and they categorize the collections according to the Indonesia Civilisation. equipped with many interactive diorama. it is suitable to be visited with children,
