Komodo Indonesian Fauna Museum and Reptile Park

The museum building features a distinctive shape of an enormous Komodo dragon structure housing exhibits of Indonesian reptiles and amphibians across multiple floors.

President Suharto inaugurated the museum in April 1978, following its construction period from October 1975 to July 1976 as part of Indonesia's cultural preservation efforts.

The museum presents traditional Indonesian perspectives on reptiles through educational displays, connecting wildlife conservation with local environmental understanding.

The facility maintains separate sections for preserved specimens in climate-controlled rooms and outdoor enclosures where visitors can observe living reptiles in their habitats.

Visitors can interact with selected reptiles in the Touch Garden area, where trained handlers supervise encounters with tortoises, iguanas, and non-venomous snakes.
