One the most interesting parts of the Keraton of Yogyakarta. The small museum is an ode to sultan Hamengkubuwono IX, the sultan who played a major role in the struggle for independence against the Netherlands. This role and his good, hard work as a sultan, governor, minister and vice-president have earned him an almost mythical hero status.

I enjoyed the historical aspect of this place, but nothing was in English so maybe pay for the guide. My favorite exhibit was the batik patterns of each family. While I was there, there were women working on a batik project. It was interesting to see how difficult and detailed it is. It's not huge, so it shouldn't take long to go through, but I was confused where I could and couldn't go in the outdoor area. I only gave it 4 stars because it is really hard to get back to the entrance. You exit on the opposite side then have to walk all the way around and through alleys to get back to the front where your driver is waiting.

a museum located within the Sultan Palace. this museum contains heritage objects from Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X since he was a child until he died. many historic objects and a collection of antiquities there. visitors will be accompanied by a guide who will explain the contents of the museum collection. open at 9:30 am. Do not miss this place if you visit Yogyakarta. You will learn a lot about the history of Yogyakarta.

This museum located at the middle part of Palace of Yogyakarta. Items displayed in this museum are properties owned by Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX and some photograph of life story since Dutch colonization, Japanese colonization, old order (orde lama), and new order (orde baru). Since his services and sacrifices for Indonesian Government are uncountable, items in this museum should be much more than the number of item displayed today

amazing history, collection, and knowledge in this museum. everything you need to know about Yogyakarta Keraton and Sultan (kings) is perfectly curated and kept here in this place. It took about 1 hour to explore the complete area with tour guide assist, and it worth a lot. I would say this is a great place and magical.

So me and my wife stopped by on are way to the Airport. It was nice one thing that I want to point out. They have signs up that says don't touch and no photos. Yet I seen several people doing both things. That is very disrespectful to be doing that. Also if you're children can't behave then don't bring them to this establishment. They charge extra money for a camera to come into here. Their was a tremendous fine batik shop near by.

This site shows the real life of existing royal family in Yogyakarta. Visitors could visit the whole palace with its unique attaractions and collections of Batik, pictures, private possessions of former royal family, as well as the history of the royal family. If lucky, visitors can also witness the royal servants do their daily jobs inside the palace.

You can see how Sultan used to live and all his belongings. Way worth it if you come to see the Ramayana Ballet too!

Beautiful heritage and seems they really maintain them. But if you enter the palace make sure you buy at front entrance because they have also ticket at the back but you can not enter the main palace.
