Hi everybody
I hope you're okay. Some time ago, I made a story about a museum in Bandung. This time, I will tell you about a museum as well. This museum is very historical in Bandung. This museum holds memories for me. This place was the first museum I visited. But, I visited this place together with my friends. Not with my parents.
My parents always took me to a bookstore, not took me a museum. I just visited the museum after I grew up. But, it doesn't matter. This museum is a historical tourist spot in Bandung. Sri Baduga Museum. This museum has long been managed by the government of West Java. This museum was founded in 1974. However, it was officially inaugurated by the Minister of Education and Culture named David Joseph on June 5, 1980.
This museum is a manifestation of the love of the people of West Java for their homeland. There are many Sundanese historical and cultural objects placed in the museum. This place is very affordable. This place is close to "Tugu Bandung Lautan Api" which is a legendary field.
You can invite brothers or sisters, friends or children to introduce Sundanese history. I have always been proud of the history of the Sundanese. Sundanese people have their own characteristics. We can't pronounce P, F and V correctly. All those letters (F, P and V), would be called P. It was always a joke, even though I was very proud of my traditional identity.
I want to tell you about this place. This name is taken from a king named Sri Baduga. Sri Baduga has another name for the Queen Jayadevata. The king had ruled in West Java for a very long time, 1482 - 1521. During his reign, Sri Baduaga did many things. For his hard work, Sri Baduga made the kingdom he led very prosperous and great.
In the history I read, West Java had many kingdoms. Among them, the Kingdom of Galuh and the Kingdom of Sunda. During the reign of Sri Baduga, he managed to join the two kingdoms. In the past, the two kingdoms were separated. However, when Sri Baduga became king, the Sunda Kingdom and the Galuh Kingdom were reunited. Because it combines the two kingdoms, Sri Baduga has a new name, namely Prabu Siliwangi
The name Silliwangi has a very important meaning. Siliwangi comes from the words "Sili" and "Wangi". In Sundanese, "Sili" means substitute. As for "Wangi" has the meaning of fragrant. To commemorate Prabu Silliwangi, the community built a temple at Pura Parahyangan Agung Jagatkarta, Bogor. In addition, the Confucians built a monastery to commemorate Prabu Siliwangi in Sukabumi.
From some of the information I got, Sri Baduga was a very tolerant king. Towards the end of his life, many new residents began to settle. In fact, Islam began to spread at that time. People with Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic religions live side by side. Everyone respects each other. No fuss
This museum has a large collection of historical relics of West Java. From geology, biology, ethnography, archaeology, history, Heraldica, formaldica, Kramik to art. A total of 5,367 came from the Sri Beduga museum collection. The figures range from replicas, photos, miniatures and mockups.
The museum was renovated from 1989 to 1992. At that time, the museum's collection was being reorganized. The renovation was carried out so that visitors on natural history tours to West Java. Likewise the phase of development and changes in color and color in West Java.
Saat ini museum Sri Baduga memiliki bangunan berlantai tiga. Lantai pertama berisi tampilan awal dan perkembangan sejarah alam dan budaya di Jawa Barat. Di ruangan ini, sejarah alam menjadi latar belakang sejarah di Jawa Barat. Ada beberapa peninggalan dari zaman prasejarah hingga Kerajaan Hindu-Budha.
On the second floor, it consists of traditional culture. Starting from the pattern of people's lives, the work of the Sundanese, trade to transportation. Not to forget, there are Islamic and European cultures displayed in this room. In addition, there is also a city symbol in West Java. Finally, the third floor. There is an ethnographic collection. From art to ceramics
For those of you who come by bus, there is no need to worry. This place has a very large parking area, and even has a large shelter area for up to 20 buses. In addition, the museum has a library. You can visit the library of this museum if you are tired of walking around this museum.
Also, there is an auditorium space. This room is used as an audio-visual room and an exhibition space. Usually, there is a Sundanese art performance in this room. Starting from theater using Sundanese language, Sundanese Dance Festival and everything. Starting from traditional art to modern art.
The Last part, there was a special exhibition hall. This room is used for special exhibitions. Like a photo exhibition or something. In fact, there is a seminar or meeting room. This place has many uses. Interested to visit this place? i want to visit this place. I want to see the newest collection from this place
