Visiting Jakarta for the Dragon Boat Festival? The Jakarta History Museum, located in the old town area of Jakarta, is an excellent place to learn about Indonesian history and culture. This museum was originally the city hall during the Dutch colonial period, featuring elegant architecture that has been well preserved. Inside, it showcases Indonesia's historical evolution from ancient times through the Dutch colonial era to independence.
There are many historical buildings and attractions around the museum, such as Fatahillah Square, an important center of the old town. The museum is open daily from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with an entrance fee of about 15,000 Indonesian Rupiah, and discounts available for students and children. If you love history and culture, this is definitely worth a visit and a great place to go for the Dragon Boat Festival.
