Top 10 Specialty Museums in Yogyakarta, Java
Yogyakarta boasts stunning architecture and a truly spiritual sensibility. The ancient Hindu temples of Prambanan look like hand-drizzled sand castles, while the Sultan's palace is reminiscent of a gilded music box filled with jewels. Known for its arts and handicrafts, Yogyakarta is a cultural hub, a nerve center for traditional and modern puppetry.

I’ve been to this museum several times for guiding friends, and I still enjoy it. with UNESCO declares Batik as Indonesia cultural heritage in 2001 and also World Cultural Council chooses Yogyakarta as Batik City in 2014, I think add more to fancy people buying Batik whenever coming to Yogyakarta, and for that, I always recommend visiting this museum, at least to know the history of Batik, types, and its evolution. imo, it is always nice to appreciate using Batik when knowing its history and how hard making it. one of their collections is also registered in MURI (the Indonesia World Records Museum) another uniqueness of this museum is that it’s a family-owned batik museum which was opened since 1979, and it’s located on the same compound with their hotel. the grandson acts as the guide, and he really has great knowledge about Batik. the museum was started by his grands, Mr. Hadi Nugroho & R. Ng. Jumima Dewi Sukaningsih. Visitors can try fabric dyeing around 1 hour with the price of 40.000 IDR and can be as your souvenir. many my friends, especially the foreigner ones enjoy that activity and back home they framed their own result. TIPS: if wish to get better explanation in English, you better call first the museum and hoping to have available guide in English. You might be lucky to have the grandson.

It's the first time I revisit Indonesian Air Force Museum after decades of absence. The last time I went here was way back in 1996. After long absence, I'm glad that the museum has been expanded and the number of collections increased. Several planes that were active in 1996 are now permanent museum exhibit, such as A-4 Skyhawk (which still retain Israeli modifications), F-5 Tiger II (parked behind the Tu-16 bomber), Super Puma helicopter, and many more. Several items which were once exhibited inside have been moved outside, such as MiG-21 fighter plane and SA-2 missile battery. There are several items which were once displayed at other places, or stored, have been relocated to this museum such as Indonesian's first C-130 Hercules, and also the last surviving example of Indonesia's Il-14 transport plane. There are also several foreign planes displayed, planes that never served with Indonesian Air Force , but their wrecks were found in the country (or have significance with the development of our air force) and repaired cosmetically for display such as former Dutch Air Force's Hawker Hunter, and several Japanese WW II fighter planes, plus a Stearman training plane. Overall this place is a must visit for aviation enthusiasts.
