The Jakarta History Museum, housed in a stately 17th-century building that once served as the town hall of Dutch Batavia, offers a compelling journey through Indonesia’s colonial past. Dedicated to the Dutch era, the museum meticulously chronicles the nearly four centuries of Dutch rule, with special emphasis on the independence struggle that ultimately freed Indonesia. Visitors can explore a rich array of artefacts, maps, and exhibits that vividly bring to life the historical narrative of Jakarta and its evolution from colonial outpost to bustling modern capital.
