Museum Taman Prasasti — Attraction in Jakarta

You can find colonial tombstone/memorial dated from 1700s up until 1960s here as some of the corpses were already relocated to somewhere else. Most of them are the Dutch, but there are some American, British, and Chinese-Indonesian too. Some are really well-kept but expect to see many deteriorating sculpture/tombstones. Near the entrance they display the caskets of Bung Karno and Bung Hatta.

i didn't take much pics on my phone because i was using my analog camera, sorry i can't...

Graveyard dating from Dutch colonial times which is now called a museum. There are some impressive memorials/monuments but sadly none of the graves have any information beyond the usual gravestones so it was hard to know which graves belonged to the important people buried here.

The only part with information was two coffins commemorating the first president and vice-president of Indonesia but as the text there says, these are only symbolic coffins and the actual tombs are located elsewhere.

With a ticket price of 50,000 for international tourists, I expected a lot more in terms of information about the people buried in this cemetery. It is also infested with mosquitoes, so make sure you spray up...
