Time Travel, Jakarta-Style: A Day at the History Museum

Get ready to explore Jakarta’s vibrant history at the iconic Jakarta History Museum, located on the south side of Fatahillah Square. It’s one of the city’s oldest and most important museums. From the outside, the building grabs your attention with its classic Dutch colonial architecture, freshly painted in white, giving off serious vintage vibes. But step inside, and you’re in for a treat—the museum houses an impressive collection. You’ll find relics from the Dutch East Indies Company, ancient maps, colonial-era furniture, old ceramics, beautiful paintings, and even archaeological finds dating all the way back to Jakarta’s prehistoric times.
