CAPTURED : MUSEUM FATAHILLAH JAKARTA

This transportation called Bajaj. It is a traditional transportation of Jakarta.

*Museum Fatahillah or Jakarta History Museum is located in Jalan Taman Fatahillah No.1, Kota Tua, Pinangsia, Tamansari, Kota Jakarta Barat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 11110. *

This building was the administrative headquarters of the Dutch East India Company and later of the Dutch Colonial Government (VOC - Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie)

The current building was constructed in 1707 by the city government, replacing the former city hall built in 1627. The building was modelled after the Palais op de Dam in Amsterdam, which demonstrate typical Dutch 17th century city hall architecture.

This is how the women dungeon looks like. I don't know if we are allowed to enter the room, but it is very scary. It is very short that you have to bend if you want to walk inside. And there's flood on the floor caused by running water.

As you enter this session of the museum, you can feel the emotion, darkness, pain and horror surrounding this place. I feel really bad imagining how those people felt back then.

There's another building nearby and inside is another museum for Wayang and historical dolls.

TIPS WHEN TRAVELING TO MUSEUM FATAHILLAH

• it will be better if you travel here with train because there's too much traffic everywhere

• Take care of your belongings because there are many thieves here

• don't forget to read everything, !!! including rules !!! Because there are spots here that don't allow you to take pictures or else you'll get charged heavily.

• enjoy

• and for tourists, don't be surprised if people want photos with you, locals love tourists here

There's art too here.

There are still many more to see here but of course I can't upload everything in one post. Oh yeah, if you go by train, you can walk towards the museum because it is not very far. You can go with other transportation, of course. But remember the traffic jam of Jakarta.

Not that far, right?

There's a cafe called Cafe Batavia. Yes, I suggest you go there if you visit Jakarta History Museum. There's a vibe you can't explain there.

Enjoy your travel, guys! Be safe!
