Museum Tanah dan Pertanian

The Museum Tanah dan Pertanian showcases Indonesia's diverse soil types through extensive collections of soil samples, traditional farming tools, and interactive displays explaining land management techniques used throughout the archipelago.

Originally established as an Agrogeology and Soil Laboratory around 1900 during Dutch colonial rule, the building was transformed into a museum in 1988 with support from the Ministry of Agriculture and international collaboration with ISRIC Wageningen Netherlands.

The museum preserves traditional Indonesian farming practices and showcases the cultural significance of land ownership, featuring stories of farming communities and their relationship with soil conservation across different regions of the archipelago.

Located at Jl. Ir. H. Juanda No. 98 in central Bogor, the museum offers free admission Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with guided tours available for educational groups and researchers.

This specialized institution houses the only comprehensive collection of Indonesian soil samples in museum format, featuring macromonoliths and geological specimens that serve as reference materials for national soil mapping projects.
