Struggle Museum of Yogyakarta

Struggle Museum of Yogyakarta, History museum in central Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

The Struggle Museum of Yogyakarta occupies part of the Ndalem Brontokusuman grounds, granted by Sultan Hamengkubuwana IX for a monument to the half-century of national awakening. Its collection covers the Indonesian struggle for independence, and it is managed by the Museum and Cultural Heritage agency of the Ministry of Culture.

The museum grew out of the 1958 celebrations of the half-century of national awakening. A committee chaired by Sultan Hamengkubuwana IX, formed after the 20 May 1958 ceremony at Gedung Agung, planned a monument and gave part of the Ndalem Brontokusuman grounds for it. A provisional museum committee had already existed since 2 December 1952.

The museum's name in Javanese is Musiyum Perjuwangan Ngayogyakarta, and its collection grew from a committee formed on 2 December 1952 under Sri Paku Alam VIII to gather objects used by Indonesians during the independence struggle. The 1958 committee chaired by Sultan Hamengkubuwana IX included leaders of parties from every stream, among them the PNI, Masyumi, PKI and Partai Kristen Indonesia.

The museum lies about 2 km from the centre of Yogyakarta, so a becak, taxi or local bus covers the last stretch. It is managed by the Ministry of Culture's Museums and Cultural Heritage body. Allow time for the collection on the Indonesian national struggle.

The museum's origin lies in a 1952 committee chaired by Sri Paku Alam VIII, which planned a museum for objects used during the independence struggle. In 1958 Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana IX gave part of the Ndalem Brontokusuman grounds for the memorial building, and a nine-member committee worked out its form and funding.
