Museum Palagan Bojongkokosan

Museum Palagan Bojongkokosan, War history museum in Parung Kuda, Indonesia.

Museum Palagan Bojongkokosan is a war memorial facility in Parung Kuda that displays uniforms, weapons, photographs, and personal items from soldiers and civilians. The rooms are arranged to show the progression of events during this period, helping visitors understand what happened on the ground.

The museum recalls two battles at Bojongkokosan: the first from 9 to 12 December 1945, and the second from 10 to 14 March 1946, when Allied troops moving from Bogor to Sukabumi were ambushed along 81 km between Cigombong and Ciranjang. The second battle killed 50 Allied soldiers and 73 Indonesian fighters. The events preceded the Bandung Lautan Api of 24 March 1946.

The museum's name comes from Bojongkokosan, the village in Parungkuda where the fighting took place. Its seven miniature dioramas carry titles such as "Musyawarah untuk melakukan tindakan" and "Pemboman Cibadak oleh Angkatan Udara Kerajaan Inggris", so visitors follow the events scene by scene. A wall of photographs lists the names of the fighters who died in the battle.

The site is generally open during weekday daytime hours with guides available for groups who request them in advance. It is best to visit in the morning when the site is quieter and more comfortable to explore.

The museum holds a collection of handwritten diaries, letters, and accounts from people who lived through these events. These personal documents offer a direct window into the daily thoughts and fears of those times.
