I've visited many museum in Jakarta because I love to get to know to Indonesia's history. I will say this museum is the best museum all over the city. Eventhough, their main focus is for the Indonesia's economic history.

I took a tour in the Museum while my family doing the shopping as during fasting month and Lebaran festive this shop offers discounted price for certain items. For a certain reason, Danar Hadi is not my favourite batik. The museum situated at the back of the shop. A knowledgeable, pleasant, humorous and talkative gentlemen guided a small group of visitors. And it was an eye opening to me. I learned almost everything about batik : its history, philosophy, values, terminologies, designs, painting, dyeing process, materials, best ways of batik maintenance/storage, and fantastic prices of vintage batiks etc. Most, if not all, vintage batiks were from the Danar hadi founder/owners collections. Some of them priced more than IDR 5 B (or more than USD 350 K !!!). From here than I understand and credit the government of Indonesia's effort to make Indonesian Batik as the Unesco Heritage. And I loved batik now even more than before. Highly recommended to every one. Really. And you will get zilions of information for a very cheap tour (IDR 35,000 per pax, then you can buy items to ad to you pile of batik collection......

i visited here with my friends and we have a really great time. The pictures quality is fantastic from the first picture in the entry, feels like a completely different world. A perfect background for take fun and interesting picture. With the many zones here, we can enjoy from daily life until fantasy-like experience. And this place is bigger than I thought, just visit once is not enough, even if you visit twice or thrice you will find something new you've missed. The entry fee is very cheap for place with this amazing quality. They also have restaurant and cafe with delicious meals and drinks. I recommended this place for people who likes taking picture in fun, interesting and creative way with families and friends.

At this museum tourists learn the history and methods of the traditional art of Javanese batik.
Reviewed By ratihmira - Jakarta, Indonesia
One of recommended place to visit while u are in jakarta. This is was old building. Located very near to the biggest shopping centre in Jakarta Tanah Abang so might busy for access. The building was nice and historical. It used to be the village belong the French people during colonial time. When we go inside the museum, we can see textile collections, not only batik but also tenun, songket, and more. For those people who wants to learn making batik, this is the right place. We can see and learn how to making batik. With simple patterns. Not a big size of batik but it's really cool and awesome to learn by ur self and bring it home. And it's not too expensive also. In pendopo, we can learn how making that. And the local guide would also accompany and explain us alot also about batik and the processing, and give every best suggestion for creating wonderful batik with our own style. If u have ur own idea with ur own pattern for making batik, just do that. The place also was calm and cold since alot of big trees here. Not so noisy. We can also sit and relax under the tree and enjoy our drink. If u wanna buy souvenir also, this museum has options for souvenirs. Easy for public transportation. And also good place to visit for learning Batik as one of world heritage from Indonesia.

The museum is well presented and honours the importance of the conference. Google about it and then visit the site. Take in the significance of their efforts when you are there and reflect on those Cold War years and what the conference attempted to do.
