Danar Hadi Batik Museum, Textile heritage museum in Surakarta City, Indonesia.
Description
Danar Hadi Batik Museum is a textile museum in Surakarta housed in a restored 19th-century mansion. It displays over 700 carefully selected batik textiles from a collection of 10,000 pieces.
History
The museum was founded in 2008 by textile expert Santosa Doellah in the Ndalem Wuryaningratan mansion, which blends Javanese and European architecture. Its collection includes rare patterns from royal courts, the colonial era, and historical trading communities.
Culture
The galleries show how batik styles developed through contact with Chinese, Indian, Dutch, and regional Indonesian traditions. You can see how these influences shaped the way people made and wore their clothes.
Practical
The museum offers guided tours with expert explanations and live batik-making demonstrations. An on-site restaurant serves Javanese dishes and is easy to access.
