Kebangkitan Nasional Museum — Attraction in Jakarta

National Awakening Museum is a building that was built as a monument of birth and the development of national consciousness and also the discovery of the first modern movement organization under the name Boedi Oetomo.

Previously STOVIA was a physician school still developing under the name of The Java Doctor School which was founded in 1851 at Weltevreeden Military Hospital or what is now called Gatot Soebroto Army of Central Hospital.

This museum suppose to open at 0900 but we got luck they allow us in at 0830, better comes early in the morning due to car park is limited. This museum is good to get known our history. I strongly advice you to get tour guide that provided free as they able to tell the detail history, timelines, behind the story as well as activities they conduct that you will miss if you do museum tour at your own. Our guide today is Ms Yusti which knowledgeable and tell us in clear and interactive way (thank you Ms and Mr Security Guard). Most room is aircon so no sweat although we have to walk room by room. Seeing a place where history being made as well as diorama and infographic being presented makes us become part of it. For sure my child now know better the history that they read from school and see it with their own eyes as their foundations to create the great ones for future generation. Terima kasih Museum Kebangkitan National....
