Morning visit is at its best as the sky is blue, perfect for contrast pics. Needs improvement inside the museum , not just collecting things but arranging them according to theme would b better????????

The museum has more than 23,500 artifacts from the 17th to 19th centuries but perhaps the most famous is the canon in the square. Rub its metal hand motif and fertility is assured. So legend has it.

If you want to visit this Historical Maritime and Very Old Histories of The City of Jakarrta Museum of FATAHILAH during the weekdays, it is much better and it will give you a better experience.

The Jakarta History Museum (Fatahillah Museum ) is housed in the former City Hall located in the old part of the city now known as Jakarta Kota, some hundred meters behind the port of Sunda Kelapa. Read more

Opening hour & fee see pic. Better display after renovation. Mushola, toilet , souvenir & snack shops available. Again: another languange rather than Ind & Engl should be added.

Jakarta History Museum charts the city ’s story back to prehistoric times. But it has plenty of history itself. Built in 1710 it was the headquarters of the Dutch Colonial Government.

Lots of memories here! Spooky at night and incredibly hot at the afternoon. It's under renovation, now. Just a walking distance from other museums .

22 January 2012: I have been a volunteer of social campaign by @kisahdijalan : "Susu Tumpah di Jalan". We play & share the FREE milk for the underprivileged children that lives & works there.

The Jakarta History Museum (Museum Sejarah Jakarta), which is also known as Fatahillah Museum or Batavia Museum , is located in the Old Town of Jakarta, Indonesia. The building was built in 1710.

You are required to take off your shoes and wear sandals provided. Not sure what for.

Need to put description on what they showing, instead putting up the photo of people doing renovation, better to put old photos of the past as part of the history.

Saw collections of various furniture & other artifacts from Indonesia's colonial times, the old dungeons where they stored ammunition or held prisoners , & learned many things about Jakarta's history.

More of a 'historical site ' than a museum . Nothing to see inside except old furnitures and 1 or 2 dutch paintings . Not as 'museum-like' as I remember.

Cozy place for culinary hideaway in Kota Tua Jakarta. You should try.

Don't forget to bring ur phone and camera , amazing place with olde town atmosphere

Rent a classic bicycle and go round the "kota tua", they have wayang, art and ceramics and bank museums too nearby

Go to this museum , you'll find VOC history and prison completed with skulls and heavy metals. Super affordable entrance ticket!

A friend wanted to take a selfie with Soleh ????

A Spooky place perfect for test you wits or "Uji Nyali". Read about "9 October 1740" before you came here to add the horror of this place..

Kind boring place to visit but to know the history is ok as nothing is interactive here.

I have not been visiting this place ..place very crowded visitors and a large collection of accesories here ...

Bring some notes to document your rich heritage tour !

come in just to take a picture, enjoy the sunset , etc. but, keep away from bitch who there since 9 p.m

another side museum Read more

I must say that the Old Town area these days is more like a fair , way too crowded !! I like the old one better. Skip Fatahillah area, go straight to Museum of Fine Arts/Toko Merah area instead.

Weekend Destination in Jakarta

Its a jakarta city birthday! Check it out on kota tua, fatahillah museum .

i love this place...have a sweet memory with momo in this place

with only Rp 20.000,- you can rent an old bicycle and that was so fun !

Historical place

just buy the ticket less than 5.000 rupiahs, you can see many ancient things inside the museum .

Museum sejarah Jakarta

Okay to get a sniff of history but other than that nothing much of an exhibition . Lousy material accompanying objects (most have no description). For IDR 2000, very inexpensive so you get what you pay

It's a part of the old city of Jakarta that almost forgotten by the youngsters.

Here, today Festival Museum Day 2013

Been here with Ko Jae Ho, my beloved Korean ♥ Sarange 재 호 !!

Get ready to have some awesome snapshot

Long time not see this place..

Good for pre wedding photo shooting with old style or colonial style

I like this..

Don't come at weekend, crowded .

Enjoy the night with friends at fatahilah square. What a nice moment

byee guys!
