One of the best and large museums in Yogyakarta. Located on the south part of the region, It is very easy to spot the place. Just look for a tall white pyramid and you'll see it clearly. It used to be a building used for receptions & event but turned into a private owned museum. The parking lot is super wide with small stalls of food vendors. Ticket price is affordable for such scale of museum with a guide part of the ticket fee, unlimited sightseeing time, short movie & a free mini studio for pictures; more about them below. Once you enter the museum, a guide will welcome you. If you're lucky, you'll get the in house guide, but sometimes they only have high school student interns (those major in tourism) as the guide but with limited knowledge. They can still tell you about the exhibits, though, but won't know information beyond the written text available. At first, they let you sit and watch a short movie about Java's history. Then the guide will take you to the next sections. They have many sections related to the history of Java and the guide will explain to you throughout the way. You are free to stop at every item & read with no limited time, unless the place is crowded, you can have simply unlimited time. Some of the information are available for an Augmented Reality effect. You have to download the app first, it's free. But it would be best to notify the visitors after buying ticket to download the app since inside the museum, the receptions are a bit difficult. After that, the last section is a 3D short cinema though unrelated at all - about a baby dinosaur ventured beyond its lair. The 3D glasses are unfortunately worked poorly and couldn't give you the 3D effect at all. The last exhibition is actually a small photo rooms with various backgrounds (Javanese history related) with some props that you can use and wear. The relatively new museum then handed me a simple questionnaire to fill related to my opinions on the museum. Thumbs up to their effort to keep getting better. Beyond the photo studio is an open area for extra events, so I believe they also rent that section. It would be nice to see the museum keeps getting better. Tips: download the app (History of Java Museum AR) prior entering the museum. Come early to get the whole museum for yourself. Call them prior the visit to avoid large groups since schools and company visits are seldom occur. Some areas prohibit you to take pictures, so be mindful.

(Translated by Google) History of Java is a museum that displays Javanese history in general. This museum combines technology and collections. The arrangement of the exhibition space is interesting, when we enter the museum we are also given the opportunity to watch 3D video models. This museum also uses reality-like technology on Android, visitors must first download the application in the play store, just look for the history of java app, if I'm not mistaken. It is interesting to visit, apart from the technology and collection, that is, we can get another impression of visiting here and a unique photo spot, anyway behind the museum there is a look like a miniature city you can take photos too .. (Original) History of Java adalah museum yang menampilkan sejarah jawa secara umum. Museum ini menggabungkan antara teknologi dan koleksi. Tatanan ruang pameran menarik, ketika masuk museum kita juga diberikan kesempatan untuk menonton video bermodel 3D. Museum ini juga menggunakan teknologi sejenis reality di Android, pengunjung harus mendownload dulu aplikasinya di play store cari aja app history of java kalau ngga salah hehe.. Secara umum koleksinya terbilang oke, dri masa hindu-buddha, ada kerajaan Mataram islam juga, dll. Menarik untuk dikunjungi, selain karena teknologi dan koleksinya, yakni kita bisa dapet kesan lain berkunjung kesini dan spot foto yang unik, anyway dibelakang museum ada kek semacem kota miniatur bisa buat foto juga..

It's a right place to visit if you want to learn a bit about the history of Java. In the beginning, we'll watch a video about how the Java island was created. Then, the guide will bring us to see the collection of bronze statues, puppets, ceramics, and many more. The museum supports AR, but to access this, we need to download an app beforehand. So far, the AR only shows pictures of old buildings, animals, etc. I hope they can develop it to be more advance. Once we have finished seeing the collections, we will be brought to watch a 3D video about dinosaurs. It has nothing to do with the Java island, but it's quite funny. I bet your kids will like it. The last room is diorama room. There are spots to take photos in here. The ticket fee is 35K per person. It includes the guide as well.

This place is badly maintained and seriously need a revamp. Don't waste your money to come here.

A great museum with a fine collection of javanese culture and history. They had a big parking spot and a unique pyramid exterior, very easy to spot from the road. The entrance ticket cost Rp 35.000 (all in including guide). When we step in, first they showed us a short movie about the history of java. The collection room divided into 3 part + 1 extra about keraton (kingdom) in Jogjakarta and Solo. You are allowed try to play the gong. After the collection room, you can take a picture with their diorama. They also provided javanese traditional clothes as a prop for free for you to wear. At the end of the tour, they give us questionnaire form. They also ask us to take a video about our testimony. But sadly, my guide didn't know a thing about the collection. She can't even answer basic question about the history. This really gives this museum a bad impression for me.

All about java history. From Majapahit to Mataram. From Buddhis to Moslem. Entrance fee is idr30k.

(Translated by Google) Yoi want to go there again when (Original) Yoi mau kesitu lagi kapan

A great place to learn about history of Java. The guide is bilingual and communicative. The place is so nice and clean. The ticket is only idr 30k.

This is one of very few interesting museums in Indonesia that combining technology and well-maintained the collection and how to provide information to the visitors. Thank you for the kind and very helpful and informative staff who guided me during the visit last time. Keep up the good works.

Super nice place , full of historical information regards Java from ancient times. Price of ticket is affordable and price include guide who is open for any kind of explanation for a historical subject. We like it very much.

A private-owned museum full of historical artefacts. There also are 2 movie rooms with interesting show. Such a revolutionary approach to indonesian museum where you can learn and also enjoy your time

Lots of knowledge regarding Yogyakarta and even Javanese culture. They even have shop to buy things for your loved ones.

Good museum. The guide is very kind and funny so that visitor can follow attractively what she explained

(Translated by Google) The best thing is, the museum is boring, fun, the guidelines are friendly, and the top one is ... when all the photos from the museum were deleted on my cellphone, I asked the museum to turn out that they still kept the photos thanks (Original) The best pokoknya, museum yg g ngebosenin, menyenangkan, guidenya ramah2, dan yg paling top adalah...saat semua foto d museum kehapus d hp aku, aku minta ke pihak museum ternyata mereka masih nyimpen foto2nya makasiiih😘😘😘

(Translated by Google) Before the corona virus arrived, it was a trip to the History of Java Museum, the place was very educational ... with an informative guide ... and there were photo spots and very instagramable ... it's a must try!

(Translated by Google) When it comes here it seems that it is still under construction so it's not one hundred percent. The concept is good it's just that the atmosphere inside is very hot maybe you can add the AC facilities (Original) Pas kesini sepertinya masih dalam tahap pembangunan jadi belum seratus persen. Konsepnya bagus hanya saja suasana di dalam sangat panas mungkin bisa ditambahkan fasilitas AC nya

(Translated by Google) Historic!!! Different !! (Original) Bersejarah!!! Beda!!

A fun tour with some friendly guides. The artifacts are fascinating. 10/10

top museum, visited most of them but this one was the best! good description of the history of Java, artefacts, children's area, posing area for selfies, and high quality guides, clear description of all Hindu and Buddhist history, then all Muslim sultans, war of independence, art and instruments! this should be the first museum for you!

We had amazing time there. We came there around 4:30pm (Wed) and the whole museum only has two of us. Museum provides a tour guide in English. She was really helpful, enthusiasm, explained every single detail the history of Java since very beginning until today, the history of religions in Indo: Buddhist, Islam, Hindu... We learnt so many things from there. The tour finished over 6:00pm which we guess it's closing time already. Don't miss this when visiting Yogyakarta.

(Translated by Google) Nice place, but yesterday it was closed (Original) Tempat bagus sih, tapi kemaren kesana tutup

If you like history this place is a must to visit! they have a lot of collection from the old kingdoms that exists in java. a very friendly staff. cheap entry ticket.

The museum is easy to find. You can learn a lot about javanese culture and history, most of the guide are young but knowledgeable enough but the place was poorly maintain. It was sad considering the museum is actually a good one

The guide is really kind. There's a lot of collections, even though half of them are islam stuff, like al quran from the 17th century. The translation is not that understandable tho.

Incredible selection of artifacts. I was told they are originals, but I’m skeptical. Either way, the educational content is high. This museum is good for both children and adults. (October 2022)

Great museum of java history

I don't take any photo here. But I really like this place. The 3D apps model, the guide, everything. Hope they will survive because I see the number of tourist is extremely low.

Looks amazing, but currently closed unless you'd come with bus

(Translated by Google) Nice place (Original) Tempat nya bagus

(Translated by Google) The concept is good, unfortunately it's a bit quiet (Original) Konsepnya bagus.cmn sayang agak sepi

(Translated by Google) This can be a more precise place if the management is good (Original) Ini bisa jd tempat yg lebih precius kalau pengelolaan nya bagus

(Translated by Google) The collection in it is quite large and well maintained. Before entering the room, a video of the history of Java Island is played, and at the end a 3D animated video is played.

Half-finished (only section 1 could be viewed) when I visited this attraction by June 2019. First section is a decent museum with collections of artifacts and extensive information on the history of Javanese kingdoms. Second section would be a small theather to view educational video. Third section is for diorama and photo-booth with Karatonan and Kasunanan theme. On fourth section is the under-construction food court styled as miniature old Malioboro street. The attraction is of Museum Topeng and Hawai Waterpark Malang.
