Museum Maritim Indonesia

Museum Maritim Indonesia displays traditional boats, navigation tools, and seafaring objects that span centuries of Indonesian maritime history. The collections show how people across the archipelago relied on boats and navigation knowledge to connect their communities and travel.

The museum opened in 2018 to preserve Indonesia's maritime heritage for future generations. It was created to document and protect the history of seafaring traditions and boat building across the archipelago.

The museum reveals how deeply Indonesian communities have always depended on the sea and how maritime knowledge passed down through families shaped daily life. The exhibitions show this connection through objects and stories that remain part of how people understand their place in the world.

The museum is easy to walk through and the exhibits are clearly marked and organized by topic. A typical visit takes a few hours and the layout helps you move comfortably from one section to another.

The museum displays reconstructed historical navigation maps that sailors once used to steer their boats between islands. These charts were essential tools for traveling safely across the waters surrounding the archipelago.
