MANDIRI MUSEUM
JAKARTA OLD CITY
JAKARTA OLD CITY
Location : Kota, Jakarta
When the first time i arrived on Kuta Tua, it was really big surprise when i saw the beautiful buildings with good deco and amazing arsitechture around this place. After i found the information bout the history of the Kota tua area, now i know why the building was so beautiful and unique. Its beause Kota is the rest of the Dutch Colonialism with European style like another beautiful old building in Europe.
Mandiri Museum
I explore the area called Kota Tua (Old City), i went to the highest building in Jakarta on 1900's called Mandiri Museum. At the beginning, this building was Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij (NHM), or famous as factory Batavia that was bank belong to Netherland. the arsitechture was amazing. it is classic art deco. Inside the Mandiri museum, i saw there's alot of collections like obligation letter, stuff and tools to make money, counting tools from the old, safe deposite box, calculator, and many more. The unique and the good side of this place is because this building still same and original like the 1st time built and also the stained glass with symbol of the Dutch Government, Batavia City symbol within that stained glass.
Stained Glass is the character of this place. looks like another building in Europe.

Inside the museum, i heard all the explanation about this building from the local guide. And lucky because i am the official guide from the Tourism Department Jakarta Capital city so they take me to the top of this building and i saw the old building arround me. thats awesome experience and its hard to believe that i had been standing on the top f the highest building on 1900's.
Standing on the top of the highest building in Jakarta on 1990's, if on that year you see the Netherland flag, after independence of Indonesia, u only can see the red and white flag (Indonesian Flag)
It was amazing and wonderful experience to visit this place. But nowhere i visit this museum to explain to the tourist bout Batavia (Jakarta) and also bout this building and this museum more.... Interest to visit This area.... Just come to jakarta capital city and enjoy Jakarta..
