Puppet Museum Indonesia The Review

Not far from the national museum and is still one area in the old town there is a museum that is dedicated to a local art museum museum of puppets as the name suggests are just 500 meters from the museum's history jakarta save thousands collection of puppets from all over Indonesia.

Museum adjacent to the cafe this batavia original still a Dutch heritage, but still I pity of this place  layout. The shape of the interior arrangement guns is so out of good, the bottom filled with marionettes and shadow puppets and then through the park as in the picture above and next to the kitchen and the bathroom there are stairs to the upper chamber.

Some Collections contained in basement

Seriously foe pitung VOC figures are using that in this Betawi puppet freakin scary !!! how similar this clay puppet with a human face and I looked at them in the building stuffy, humid and Dutch heritage.

The top floor is much more interesting puppet museum display arrangement is more charming and beautiful, not to mention the top floor is also in store a variety of puppet that is not only of Java and Indonesia and somehow upper floor is cleaner than the lower floor, if I may be honest I think the bottom floor better dispensed replaced it with a cafe or a larger souvenirs store.

Collection Upper Floor

Collection upstairs is much more striking, here we can see a variety of dolls from various countries such as India, China, France and Russia unfortunately this collection in place on the top floor of the corner.

 Diamond Room

Diamond room located just below the stairs to the floor next to the kitchen and toilet "wonder why", this room is not open to just anyone, because it saved the most valuable collections of the museum, for example the most expensive leather puppets are decorated by diamonds and other rare artifacts . Lucky, I can freely see the room diamond and precious collections.

Diamond Room Collection

Blencong or oil lamps were formerly in use as lighting for staging puppet skin has aged 200 years and there are only two in the world, this blencong rarest collections of museums and old so do not put out but unfortunately also if not seen by many people. Perhaps the reason why the security becomes a major factor riveting collection like this can not take just anyone.

Overall I feel much more satisfied all the puppet museum of the national museum jakarta, more that can be viewed and much better. Fixed I think the puppet museum needs a new building or a better arrangement, this place makes oath horrified if we go alone. Imagine entering an old building and dark eyes stared at hundreds of puppets.
