Amazing Place, so Many 'Keris' collection. Historical

The largest museum of its kind in Indonesia, there's even a library inside.

Great historical place! Bring it to your tour de museum bucket list! One of the most outstanding museum in Surakarta. Knowing about Keris the traditional weapon from Java and many traditional weapon from other cultures.

Excellent. 5 level building special for keris and tombak. All stories about keris (javanese unique knife) is told here by very expert guide.

well maintained museum... good for a visit

Friendly staffs 😊 Tickets price on photos 😊 There's 5th floor, the museum on 2nd-5th floor ✔ Modern building ✔ Locker to keep your bag ✔ Taking photos is allowed *without flash* ✔

the staffs were friendly and the place is quite nice. many keris inside. so quiet. entrance ticket for student was only Rp 5000.

It’s cool with aircoditioning setting temperature at23-25degree . With exhibition on 2nd-5th floor, museum tour starts from top floor down to 2nd floor , ends up at Souvenir museum shop. At the beginning , the stories of Keris( kris) in java , surakarta area , south east asian and this area archipelago. Then the exhibition shows how many types of kris and its handle and cover. What a pity!!! There is no description in other languages, only bahasa . Down to 4th floor, the stories of how kris is made, step by step at least 15 steps , there are descriptions about anatomy of kris. Then 3rd/ second floor are to be learned with these sacred daggers . It’s less crowd than other attractions , such as Shopping mall where locals aggregate there in weekend. This place is one of a” must” to visit when you are here, surakarta (spirit of java city)

A beautiful part of Indonesian history. The Kris knives on display are delicate and a true artisans craft. We stayed for roughly 30 minutes. There aren’t many English explanations unfortunately however.

Nice place with some nice collection also with a very kind of tour guide mbak Putri . Thank you for taking us around to know the collection

There's a lot of variety of Keris to see and it's a delightful trip. They're also quite informative but it can be improved. For local, they provide guide to bring you tour around. On the four floor, for foreign tourists, the museum prepares a video in English to introduce about Keris. Overall I recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a visit!

Wonderful museum which has thousand traditional knives, keris. Ticket costs 10.000 rupiah / person. They also have moni library at 2nd floor.

The models showing you methods of construction were entertaining. Also the many different fruit woods used for the handles. Most of the Kerises were modern copies and no dates were supplied with the few old ones.

I had a wonderful time visiting the Museum Keris Nusantara in Surakarta. This museum is a fantastic place to explore and learn about the traditional Indonesian weapon called the keris. The exhibits at the museum are well-designed and showcase a wide range of keris blades, hilts, sheaths, and other related artifacts. It's fascinating to see the different styles and craftsmanship from various regions of Indonesia. The museum provides clear explanations and descriptions for each exhibit, making it easy to understand the cultural significance and historical background of the keris. The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable, ready to answer any questions and share interesting stories. In addition to the keris collection, the museum also features traditional textiles, artwork, and other artifacts that highlight Indonesian culture and history. It's a well-rounded experience that offers insights into the country's rich heritage. The layout of the museum is well-organized, and the displays are visually appealing. The lighting and presentation of the artifacts make them even more captivating. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about Indonesian culture, the Museum Keris Nusantara is definitely worth a visit. It's a great way to discover and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the keris while gaining a deeper understanding of Indonesia's heritage.

The location of the museum is easy to find. The ticket price was very cheap and the place is spacy, clean, and tidy... The guide was so humble and willing to help you with the Keris information and knowledge. The museum has a lot of keris collection arround the south east asia, but mostly from Indonesia

This place relatively a new museum in Solo, it holds a wide range of 'keris' or Javanese dagger, a must visit museum when you visited Solo. In the museum complex, they provide a nice and cool musholla for Moslem prayers.

After being recognized as world cultural heritage, Keris and its existence and history should be preserved. This museum is a great idea how we, the indonesian generation, respect it. This museum has 4 floors for displaying the keris collection and the history. There are some facilities for visitors such as kids corner, library and lockers. Souvenirs & gift shop and cafe are next to the building. Entrance fee on holiday: 10K IDR (adult), 7.5K IDR (student) Free parking fee.

Decent museum, altho it seemed like its maintenance can be improved. Some areas have dead lighting and some descriptions are missing for the items. Hope it can be revitalised.

Best experience of learning all about Keris

It's bring you to hundreds years before you born but, nevertheles I didn't see any appreciation to Empu Gandring, why..?

Good place to go! This place is a good idea for museum date 😁🤭

First thing first I was salty about the open hour. On the Instagram they said they are open until 3pm on Saturday, but actually the last visit was only allowed before 2pm. Well then, dont advertise your open hour til 3, then! But fortunately after I beg and said that my friend was from Jakarta, they allowed us to go in and take a look for a bit. There was plenty locker available for visitors to put in their bag, but visitors are allowed to bring in their phone. The collection was quite a lot, it has so many keris and spears from many regional style and era, and the display are well lit and nicely put. There are written information for each of the keris. Im sure there are tour guide and audio visual movie theater available oo, but sadly we couldn't take advantage of it. What I love so much about this museum is that the building is new, well lit, clean, and it doesn't have that scary old sacred place like another museum, especially for ancient weapons like this. The infographic posters displayed are quite complete, easy to understand for keris noob. Had quite a fun time here, especially while looking at a very handsome keris, given by the president Jokowi himself, put on the center display. Overall it was a nice and fun experience. Would visit again IN THE MORNING, dammit.

A vast array of Keris collections. Mostly Solo and Yogya style. You will also find a few Balinese Keris here. For all Javanese Culture and Tradition enthusiasts, this Keris Museum is definitely a Must Visit.

Very good education facilities. Services was very good, specimen display lay out was very good. Toilet, prayer room, locker room are available. However, lift was in maintenance when visited, so ladder should be used to go to upstairs. Specimen collections are amazing, ranging from the latest to the older one in term of time of forging.

It's a new museum next to Stadion Sriwedari. There are history of keris, Javanese tradititional weapon made of steel. You can find many variety of keris n the making of them. It's a complete dictionary of keris here

Nice collection of "keris"

Many variety of keris display here and our guide said that the government is in progress taking more collections from aboard coming back to Indonesia. Can't wait.

Brand new and modern museum with a somewhat narrow and specific focus. Mostly of interest to conisseurs of kris.
