Current exhibition
" Jakarta, born out of Sunda Kelapa "
As from July 2008 the maritime museum, also known as Museum Bahari, will open her new exhibition
"Jakarta, born out of the Harbor of Sunda Kelapa". The focus of this two months lasting exhibition is on the long maritime tradition of Indonesia and especially the role of Jakarta as harbor city.
Therefore several nations were approached like Spain, Sweden and China who committed themselves to this exposition.
The exposition consists of three major parts: the history and function of Sunda Kelapa, the vessels who called at Jakarta and the role of the people in the development of this harbor. This exposition will give visitors, who are up to the challenge, a change to play an interactive role. What about a shanty contest or a recital contest of maritime poetry especially for Indonesian students? The children also will play an interactive role hence a visit to the Museum Bahari will be worthwhile for anybody.
The admission to the museum is almost nil. With paying of a small amount you can take on a (English speaking) guide who will tell you more about the lively history of the museum buildings. A must-do after you had visited the exhibition.
The Museum Bahari opens daily from 9.00 AM to 3.00 PM except every Monday when the museum is closed.
