National Museum of Indonesia

As an Indonesian, I am very proud to see the progress of museums today. The museum is beautiful, with a well-curated collection. They even have a playground for younger children. The explanations are very engaging for both children and adults. Congratulations to the government or whoever is responsible for successfully renewing the image of museums and making them much better.

Finally visited the National Museum of Indonesia again after last year’s renovation following the fire incident. The museum now feels much more modern and well-designed, and I really like how the renovation turned out. The exhibits are cleaner, more interactive, and more comfortable to explore. However, the large Indonesian culture showcase at the back is still closed, which was a bit disappointing since it’s one of the highlights of this museum. One thing to note is the ticket price has increased to IDR 50,000, which feels quite expensive for local visitors, especially considering it used to be IDR 25,000. Hopefully, this information is clearly communicated so visitors know the price before coming. Overall, it’s a great improvement and still worth visiting, but be prepared for the higher entrance fee.

The admission fee is Rp 25.000. The museum is clean and well-curated. As you step into the building, you'll be welcomed by stunning statues with different size. It's interesting to learn the history of each statue..the museum is huge. There is also a Japanese exhibition when I visit it. I've got the chance to see the kimono exhibition in vibrant colours and different patterns.

I had a wonderful time visiting the National Museum. I especially loved the garden of statues. I noticed a lot of the statues were from Java. I thought the museum was nice but here are some things I think need to be heavily improved on. 1. I hated the fact the purchases were all cashless (museum tickets, gift store, additional tickets) 2. This is the first museum in my life where I had to pay extra to go into the additional rooms. I find it insane it’s not included in the main ticket (or was asked as an add-on when buying the ticket in the first place). I did get into one of these paid exhibits and it was very mid. I also found it insane you had to book an additional ticket with Traveloka for another exhibit and that there was no option to purchase it at the museum. 3. The museum was quite empty and while the exhibits present were nice (except one with some weird French modern art and the photo gallery) I do wish there was more as many space seems under utilized. Would’ve loved to see an exhibit going through all the main islands of indonesia for example. Overall while I think it was worth a visit and I did love some aspects of the museum, this is not a museum I’d want to return to.

Visited the National Museum of Indonesia with my husband and our 8-month-old baby boy. The place was clean and spacious, and the exhibitions were well-curated and informative. I really appreciate the staff — they were super friendly and helpful 🥹🤍 It was raining that evening, and they kindly helped us walk from the parking area to the museum. Kudos to them! Overall, such a pleasant and educational family outing.

I visited the National Museum of Indonesia during the holiday season, so it was quite crowded, though still manageable. The museum has extensive collections, and each section offers a different vibe, which makes the experience engaging. Overall, the atmosphere is great. Highly recommended for museum lovers or a museum date.

This museum is by far one of the best place that I visited to learn the historical of Indonesia as a country, that contains some interesting artifacts of human evolution, the stone age, weapons and story that was related from the indonesian Independence, diverse culture artifacts, and even a showcases of different spices. Other than that the parking lot was spacious (basement parking), has a lot of bathroom, kinda crowded, theres a place for consumption - (price was acceptable), and the location is not far from Bundaran HI and even the iconic Monas... Very good !

More informative and easier to navigate compared to before the renovation. You can also go up to one of the staff and asks further questions about the exhibits if you're interested! Remains the best museum in Jakarta and one of the best I've been to in the world.
