A former house of one of Grand General of Indonesia during 1960S. This house is a witness of tragedy at Cold Wars era of 30 September Movement during an attempt to kidnap him from his house and killed him in his own house. This house stand many of his private collection such as a real preserved sumatran tiger. But you cant take photos freely especially at Alm. A. Yani Bedroom because his family told to respect his privacy. Now this museum is handed to Indonesia Army and turn to a museum to Honor him.

G30s PKI was an unforgettable yet unprecedented rebellion that this nation had witnessed and undergone almost seventy years ago in the early days of establishment. And this mouseum which more likely seemed to be a house, was an eye witnessed of the peak of the rebellion. Sasmitaloka museum was a former house of late general and minister Ahmad Yani. He was assassinated in his house by the group of Communism Party who pretended to be his escorts. This museum will explain you guys more about the scenes and details about what had happened during by the time. Luckily, this museum is free and you will be accompanied by a guide. The house had kept to be as much as authentic as possible due to value of history. Yet unfortunately mostly on daily basis this museum is so quiet and rarely visited. And as a hint if clues, indeed for those who infatuated in antic stuff etc- there you'll see many gifts that the General Ahmad Yani had received during his reign such as a taxidermied tiger, head of onimusha (japanese warlord headpiece), armories, a phenomenal impala car, and a numerous details that they would more lovely to be witnessed by you guys in first hand.

Excellent museum for the infamous General. Free entrance I guess?

I’m not into history that much but I liked it when I visited this place with some friends and her friends from Poland, Vietnam, Thailand and I guess they enjoyed their visit as well.

The museum actually General Achmad Yani house with his family until he was shot by Cakrabirawa soldier at 30th September/PKI movement. The house showed General activity from Colonel until Lieutenant General from the photo collection that rarely showed from student history book. The museum also showed another revolutionary heroes photos & their own collection (bags, glasses, shoes etc) who also killed by soldier.

Never cross in my mind to find a place like this before.. and never heard it before. Why i knew NOW.... Accidentally being in this area then stopped right in front of this museum and I immediately went inside. My curiosity about what happened inside made me want to tell everyone so they could come and this place became famous and became one of the historical centers

This museum told us about the life of Jend. A. Yani lives before his passing because of G30SPKI, we can even see the place he was shot down and several bullet marks. Not only told us about the night of his passing, we also can see all the item has, based on the information from Kapten Suroso, almost 90% of the collection on the museum are still authentic.

Short cultural visite with the kids. Worth it is you are interested in history.

A lovely museum. Fully aircond and dont forget to take your shoes or slipper off. Clean also!

Free entry☀️ Great history

historical place

Free entrance although we paid not much for the guardian (seikhlasnya). There are many photos of General Ahmad Yani with his families. His achievements during his life etc. The guide will explain to you about Bapak (they call General by bapak). Surprisingly the toilet is already modern. 1960s already had bathtub water heater and sitting toilet. There is small fish pond also. I spent less than 30 minutes here. can take photos except in Bapak's bedroom

Introducing Indonesian history, revolutionary heroes, to your own children. Because it's a shame that the school curriculum doesn't have history. My son was very excited because my son asked to come to historical places because previously he had only seen them on the internet.

A piece of history that is a must for every Indo citizen to visit. Very Well maintained. Very nice and super friendly caretaker. Free admission.
