Bank Mandiri Museum, History museum in Taman Sari, Jakarta, Indonesia
The Bank Mandiri Museum is a history museum in the Taman Sari neighborhood of Jakarta housed in a large building with white colonial architecture, high ceilings, and large windows. Inside, exhibition rooms display objects related to banking history, furniture, and documents that span different time periods.
The building was completed in 1933 and originally served as the headquarters of the Netherlands Trading Company. After Indonesian independence, it was nationalized in 1960 and later converted into a museum.
The museum displays how Indonesian banking developed over time through collections of old calculators, typewriters, and early automated teller machines from different eras. Visitors can observe how financial technology and business practices changed across the decades.
The museum stands at Jl. Lapangan Stasiun No. 1 in Kota Tua, beside the old station square, on a 10,039 m2 plot with a 21,504 m2 building. Allow time for the exhibition halls and keep the original interior and furniture in view as you move between rooms.
The building's interior, furniture and ornaments survive as installed when the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij opened the office in 1933, so visitors see original fittings rather than reconstructions. The collection also holds mechanical money-counting machines, bookkeeping machines and band presses from that era.
