2 years agoIt was really an unforgettable inadvertently strayed visiting in such a significant museum. Over 4000 antique precious collected from all over the world with an artistic design and decoration, you can see a monumentally graveyard of previous owner Mr.Djalil in the corner of the lawn, who is a really respectable man.

6 years ago+ : The private museum is located in the kemang which is a really good place and easy to reach. Appointment must be made before coming and there are only 2 sessions per day & restricted at most 15 people. The collection itself is really good and from various places from Asia to Europe. If you're lucky, you'll meet the owner he'll greet you happily before the trip. And last but not least, it's free so far. - : there's only one person that capable to guide the trip which is why they're only open for 2 sessions. All the information are written in Indonesian language only so the guide must have more effort & time to explain foreigner visitor. Also we found the wrong label has been put when we visited the place. Really hope that they can make it better since the place has an amazing collection

5 years agoThis is an extraordinary house holding the extraordinary art and artifact collection of an extraordinary man. I think at least 50% of the reason to go is to see a particular slice of contemporary Javanese culture － that of the eccentric who's interested in everything, from Islamic art to busts of Napoleon and everything in between. The other 50% is to see the beauty of the house and the art it contains. Truly a unique and weird experience. Friendly English speaking guide. Interesting area to walk around afterwards as well.
