Jakarta History Museum, History museum in West Jakarta City, Indonesia
The museum exhibits over 23,500 artifacts including historical maps, paintings, and archaeological objects from prehistoric times through the colonial period in a Dutch-style building.
The structure, built in 1707 as the Stadhuis city hall during Dutch colonization, served as an administrative center until its transformation into a museum in 1974.
The museum collection features Betawi furniture from the 17th to 19th centuries, reflecting Indonesian, Dutch, Chinese, and Indian influences on local craftsmanship.
Located in Taman Fatahillah square, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
The building contained prison cells that once held Prince Diponegoro and other national figures during the Dutch colonial administration of Jakarta.
