Bank Indonesia Museum

Bank Indonesia Museum, Central bank museum in Surabaya, Indonesia.

The Bank Indonesia Museum occupies the former De Javasche Bank building, rebuilt in 1904 to a design by Amsterdam architect Eduard Cuypers with Neo-Renaissance forms and Javanese ornament. Its three floors hold old Indonesian currencies in the former safe-deposit room, bank machinery and equipment, and building materials replaced during conservation.

De Javasche Bank opened a Surabaya branch on 14 September 1829. In 1904 the original building on the plot was demolished and rebuilt to a design by Amsterdam architect Eduard Cuypers (1859–1927), covering 1,000 square metres. The building served as Bank Indonesia's Surabaya branch until 1973 and reopened as a museum on 27 January 2012 after restoration.

The building's name comes from De Javasche Bank, the colonial central bank that opened a Surabaya branch on 14 September 1829. The old safe-deposit room now holds Indonesian currencies, while another room keeps the building materials replaced during the 2012 restoration. A third room shows old bank machinery and equipment.

The museum is closed on Mondays and public holidays, and there is no entrance fee. The three floors are divided into three rooms: the former safe deposit room with old Indonesian currencies, a conservation room with replaced building materials and the bank's construction history, and a room of old bank machinery and equipment.

The safe-deposit room of the old branch now holds the collection of historic Indonesian currencies, while another room keeps the building materials replaced during the 2012 restoration. A third displays old bank machinery and equipment. The building was rebuilt in 1904 to 1,000 square metres on the design of Amsterdam architect Eduard Cuypers.
