Museum Angkut, Transportation museum in Batu, Indonesia.
Museum Angkut is a transportation museum in Batu, East Java, displaying more than 300 vehicles across themed zones representing different continents. The three-story main building sits on the hillside of Mount Panderman and includes a flight simulator along with wheelchair-accessible exhibition spaces.
Museum Angkut opened on 9 March 2014, built by the Jawa Timur Park Group, which had already developed Batu Secret Zoo, Batu Night Spectacular, Eco Green Park and Museum Satwa. It was presented as the first museum of all modes of transport in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, gathering more than 300 traditional to modern vehicles on 3.8 hectares of the Mount Panderman hillside.
The name comes from angkut, Indonesian for transport. Zones recreate settings rather than showing rows of vehicles: the Sunda Kelapa and Batavia zone reproduces the old harbour with becak and miniature ships, while the European zone is laid out as French streets of the 1800s and 1900s lined with vintage European cars.
The museum occupies 3.8 hectares on the slope of Mount Panderman, about 20 km from Malang, at Jl. Terusan Sultan Agung Atas No. 2 in Batu. The zones are laid out as walk-through streetscapes, so allow time to cross the whole site on foot. The Flight Simulator sits on the third floor of the main building.
The Tucuxi, an electric car built by former state minister Dahlan Iskan, is displayed after crashing on a slope of Mount Lawu in Magetan during its first test run. The vehicle is among the museum's newest additions, alongside a flight simulator on the third floor of the main building.
