Museum Pendidikan Nasional Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Educational museum in Bandung, Indonesia
The Museum Pendidikan Nasional is a five-story building in Bandung dedicated to the history and development of Indonesian schooling. The exhibitions use artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays to document various aspects of teaching and educational institutions.
The museum was founded in 2015 and documents how Indonesian education transformed from colonial times through independence. With backing from the West Java Governor, the collection preserves this significant period of change.
The exhibits showcase teaching approaches and student uniforms from different eras, showing how schooling has evolved across Indonesia. Visitors can observe the objects and practices that shaped learning in classrooms over time.
The museum stands on the UPI campus at Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi 229, Isola, Sukasari, Bandung, about 130 metres from Terminal Ledeng. It opens Monday to Friday from 09.00 to 15.30. Exhibitions occupy five floors, with a garden and eating area on the fifth, so allow time to climb through all levels.
The fourth floor traces UPI's own history from 1954 to the present, not the teaching profession in general. The museum's idea came from Sunaryo Kartadinata, rector of the university, with backing from then West Java governor Ahmad Heryawan. Its first stone was laid on 20 May 2013.
