This is most often museum i ever visit, because located in my howe town Bogor. The first time when junior high school or about 10 years ago. At that time the museum is very distressing, the condition humid, dark even becoming the most haunted place in Bogor. But now the manager doing the smart move to unify this museum with Bogor botanical garden, so that visitors to the botanical gardens have new things that can be seen. That also meant that you got to pay for two thing, first museum and second the botanical garden, but i don't mind. It cost about IDR 10,000 perperson. This step proved effective, visitors are booming, zoology museum Bogor is only museum i have ever seen with solid numbers visitors. Nevertheless during the 10 years the museum, that preserves a variety of fauna is never add his collection, i do not see a change other than the location of the collection. With a rich wildlife Indonesia condition does not make sense. Seem the holder totally lazy to add the collection, because since years 2000 there more than 50 new species have been found in borneo alone.
Eventough never add collection of the animal preserved nor the species frame, seeing some collection of extinct animal is awesome. From birds, monkey, mammals, insect and fish all in good condition, i never bored see this kind exhibit.
Like other museum the building is dutch legacy, there only one floor and more like collonial house rather building. There also merchandise shop that sell several cool item, i bough a keychain with insect in glass.
I am really satisfied with this museum, after that we can go out and enjoy the Bogor botanical garden. The right step turn zoology museum from the most sinister place to one of the most visited places in Bogor.
