5 museums in Asia-Pacific for your cultural fix - SilverKris

"Located about two hours by road from Yogyakarta, this four-floor (plus basement) institution—opened in September 2017—is devoted to the keris, the ceremonial Javanese dagger. Some 360 keris are on display, ranging from curved to straight-bladed historic pieces, and a diorama demonstrates the keris-making process. The museum runs keris-making workshops and houses an audio-visual library and a children’s room; it has capacity to showcase up to 4,000 keris. Nearby attractions include the Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace (built 1744) and the 18th-century Fort Vastenburg, which hosts music and arts events." - Isabel Ong

+: for ticket you just pay for 10k, with cash or cashless. With 10k you get a cold and good museum. The collection is comprehensive. Smell good because of because of flower and “dupa” stick look like a “sajen”. -: museum start dr second floor ‘till fifth, you can choose between lift or stairs, I choose stairs. For stairs look like, a little bit dirty, with some dust. Maybe you should recheck it. Every restrooms in this building are under maintenance. I can not find any employees in second until fifth floor, they are only at first floor for ticketing. And the situation of museum is so quiet, rarely people, and i feel like a little bit scared inside.

Located in startegic area behind Sriwedari Stadium, the entrance fee is only 10k IDR (no guide). You can see the collection of Keris (Javanese traditional weapon), looking the relief in the body of the keris and the meaning also looking step of making and rituals needed to make it. There is also mini library (but the lamp was turned off when I was there).

Learnt alot about the history of Keris and the rituals behind making one. Each keris is a unique thought out process combining the divinity of Kejawen culture and godly beliefs.

After being recognized as world cultural heritage, Keris and its existence and history should be preserved. This museum is a great idea how we, the indonesian generation, respect it. This museum has 4 floors for displaying the keris collection and the history. There are some facilities for visitors such as kids corner, library and lockers. Souvenirs & gift shop and cafe are next to the building. Entrance fee on holiday: 10K IDR (adult), 7.5K IDR (student) Free parking fee.

There's a lot of variety of Keris to see and it's a delightful trip. They're also quite informative but it can be improved. For local, they provide guide to bring you tour around. On the four floor, for foreign tourists, the museum prepares a video in English to introduce about Keris. Overall I recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a visit!

Truthfully, the place is very interesting. They offer many educational and artistic pieces to the public. But sadly, it isn't advertised as such. As a place filled to the brim with so many historical values, it all looks kind of ordinary. Good experience though nontheless ! It's just a shame that it's not shown to it's full potential.
