Tumurun Private Museum — Attraction in Surakarta

The museum artwork was quite impressive and rather well curated. Rp 25,000,- entrance fee for one hour was relatively worth the price. The timing restriction was applied but since the museum is not too big, one hour is relatively enough. The disappointing part of the museum was the restroom. Despite such high valuable private art collections, the museum did not bother to provide a decent and clean restroom. The restroom was very filthy. Also the museum did not provide a locker for visitors or at least a proper storage room for the bags. Visitors were not allowed to bring any form of bags (even the tiniest sling bag/wallet bag were not allowed). You must leave your bag at this small security table, the same table where the officer validate the tickets just in front of the museum entrance. All visitor bags were laid out, feasibly seen and reachable by arriving visitors. You could only bring your phone and wallet, carrying them in your hands or pocket (I didn’t have pocket the time I was visiting, so I ended up carrying my 2 phones, wallet and credit card wallet on my hands). I was so not comfortable leaving my bag on the small security table out in the open. The museum should at least put information on ticket confirmation email regarding bag restriction.

The exhibits were interesting but our group of 55 professionals from Jakarta were disappointed in 3 things: We were told not to bring bags into the exhibit space but there were no storage facilities such as lockers; we had to dump our bags on an open air table watched by a security, with no comfort in seeing our valuables secure.

After some arguments with the unrelenting staff we forced our way into these toilets.

We recommend future visitors to be aware of these shortcomings and come prepared.

We hope the management improve the facilities as the museum is actually quite worth seeing, bar these...

Modern museum too it's detail. The building like a big warehouse turn into a modern museum. The facade is covered with perforated metal sheet and have a marmer wall at the first floor. The way the painting or artwork hang are like in the overseas museum. Though the lightings are made way much brighter than the usual museum, so people can have a better picture without flash. The museum have good collection from modern art to contemporary art. Artwork from Abdullah, Affandi, Lee Man Fong, Hendra Gunawan, Soedjojono, Ay Tjoe Christine, Entang, Aditya Novali are some of the collection. I love the mission of this private museum, to passed the art and culture of Indonesian Art To the next generation. One thing to remind for the visitors, art not just to take picture with, but to be learned, to be enjoyed, understand about, captured every era of art movement and the...
