👍👍 Wonderful museum chalked with a myriad of Javanese and Balinese cultural artifacts. Don’t forget to see one of the puppet shows! They will even show you how they are made if you ask and the studio is open ☻ Some of the translations are pretty bad, so I highly suggest getting someone local to go wit...

👍👍 It's a legacy of Ki Hadjar Dewantara. The Father of Indonesian Education. Actually when you feel the ambience of this place, you will find a unique, mature, high spirited, wise and youthful aura. Never under estimate this place without knowing, experiencing, and come in person. There are stories, so...

👍 Very simple yet ecstatic installation! The ticket price for the ArtJog itself is not so pricey (but not cheap either). The important part is...it's really worth to visit! Easy to find by public / private transport. The things to be improved maybe the ticket both staff....if they are polite and kind...

👍 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...

👍👍 Historical building and one of Yogyajarta Living Heritage.

👍👍 The place is nice and very guarded by security guards. Entering must have a specific reason and submit a letter. The place is like an old Dutch style, in the entrance hall you are greeted by an old style atmosphere, namely money frames. However, if there are no visitors, the atmosphere seems quiet.

👍👍 While named as Maritime Museum (Museum Maritime), most of this museum collection is Indonesian Navy paraphernalia. This should not surprise you if you know that the founder of this museum is an Indonesian Navy Officer. Coming to this museum we are greeted by a naval gun turret. Behind the gun is a...

🫤 It was hard to find and there was no signage leading the path. It's said to be opened at 9 am (turns out to be even later) although it was put on as 8 am on the website. I was looking forward to it and got disappointed, most items are still in storage and was never really ready for public since 1997...

👍👍 One of the spots in Jogja that you really must visit. Because it is an icon of the city of Jogja which is addictive. If you come here you can take photos from several sides and angels. But you still have to be safe, don't let our photos disturb other road users. There are also many photographers who...
