Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum, Educational museum and library in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

The Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum occupies a building that combines European and Javanese architectural styles within the Majelis Luhur Tamansiswa complex.

The property was purchased from a Dutch plantation owner in 1934 for 3,000 Gulden and transformed into a museum after Ki Hadjar Dewantara's death in 1959.

The museum displays 3,257 items including personal belongings, manuscripts, photographs, and educational materials that document Indonesian educational development.

The museum opens Monday through Saturday with free admission, while guided tours are available for visitors interested in detailed explanations.

Each of the nine rooms maintains its original function from when Ki Hadjar Dewantara lived there, presenting his workspace, bedroom, and living areas.
