Asia-Africa Conference Museum

One of my destination in this trip. I could visit this historical place where the 1st Asia-Africa Conference was held. Through the exhibited items, description and video, I could feel the heat at that time. Especially the main hall where the actual Conference was held is exciting since I could be on the place which I learned from the textbook of the world history in my high school time.

This is a great museum. It is the very building where the first meeting of the Non-Aligned movement took place and it really shows the history and the importance of the conference as the Cold War was going on. The place is air conditioned, with a free tour guide as well. All the displays were well maintained.

Worth a Quick Stop in Bandung The Asia-Africa Conference Museum is a cool place to stop by if you’re around the city center. It’s free, not too big, and gives you a quick look at the 1955 conference where leaders from Asia and Africa met. The old building is beautiful, and the original meeting room is still there — pretty cool to see in person. Great for a chill, one-hour visit if you’re into history or just want to see something different in Bandung.

Small free museum. It's skippable if you can't make the highly restrictive opening hours. The only key thing to see is the main conference hall, which has been preserved. Otherwise, rooms are mostly photos from the conference with short explanations. There's a video with archival footage of conference highlights (English with Indonesian subtitles). Very strong AC - bring a jacket.

Must visit while you are visiting Bandung, West Java. The museum is modern and well curated, depicting the important part of Indonesian history, when Bandung became the host for the historic Asia Africa Conference. You can get the ticket on the spot. Guides services are available as well. The museum is ♿️✅ accessible and friendly for those using wheelchairs. There are ramps in the entrance and exit, as we as disabled toilets. It is located in the city center, near the famous area of Braga. The Architecture of the building is also interesting to enjoy, as it bears the colonial era.

A small and free museum showcasing the history of the 1955 Bandung Conference, where Asian and African nations come together to promote economic and cultural cooperation, and to oppose colonialism. You will have to register a form with the guard before going in. There's two main sections, the museum and the event hall. The museum details the history of the event, English explanations are provided for foreign visitors. The event hall is a showcase of the original hall from the event. Should take about 20-30 minutes to complete the museum. Really worth a go if you're interested in the history of the Non-Aligned Movement.

I recently visited the Asian-African Conference Museum in Bandung, and it was a remarkable experience. The museum beautifully showcases the historical significance of the 1955 Bandung Conference, where leaders from Asia and Africa gathered to discuss solidarity and cooperation. The exhibits are well-curated, with informative displays that highlight key moments and figures from the conference. I particularly enjoyed the interactive sections that brought the history to life. The building itself is stunning, combining modern design with historical architecture. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions. I also appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which made it easy to take in all the information. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this museum to anyone interested in history, culture, or international relations. It’s a must-see when in Bandung!

Visited the Asia-Africa Conference Museum with my child and appreciated the educational concept at first. Children were given an activity sheet and told they could exchange it for a small reward after completing it. My child followed the guide attentively, completed all the stickers, and was genuinely excited. At 2:50 PM, we tried to redeem the reward and were told it was not allowed because the building was “already closed” — even though the official closing time is 3:00 PM. No flexibility, no explanation, no effort to honor what was promised. For a museum that represents history, values, and education, this sends the wrong message — especially to children. Educational spaces should model fairness and responsibility, not technical excuses. Disappointing execution. Update: After this review, museum management contacted me directly, arranged for the gift to be given immediately, and followed up internally with their security team. I appreciate the prompt response and accountability shown afterward. However, this update reflects a post-incident correction, not the initial experience. Clearer coordination on-site would prevent similar situations, especially for child-focused educational activities.
