4. History of Java Museum

How come it's a foreign name, is there a Museum of History of Java in Yogyakarta ?,

Yes ..., this is the newest museum in Jogja, even when I write this blog, the Museum isn't open yet !,

Why do I know it's a museum ?, because there is a writing about the History of Java Museum, Opening Soon on the banner hehehe…..

This museum building was formerly a Pyramid Café or Planet Pyramid. Located on JL. Parangtritis Km 5.5 Bantul, DIY.

This very distinctive form of pyramid in Giza is indeed very eye catching when we pass on Jl. Parangtritis. But apparently, this pyramid philosophy is not a Pyramid in Egypt but a philosophy of Javanese tumpeng !,

When I passed the Parangtritis street a few days ago, I was curious about the massive construction that took place there. So I began to find out what to do with a unique building that survived this 2006 earthquake.

And finally, from a friend who opened a transportation service business, I knew this would be a museum.

From the flyers given to me, quite interesting, there are writings of Augmented Reality and 3D theater Movies. There is an educational diorama zone to selfie photos and ... yummi ... there is a Djogja Food Street ...

Their tagline is Knowing the Legend of Java Land in Exotic Cultural Values ​​and Traditions ... legend, so what is the collection? Does it have anything to do with Raffles book History of Java?

Let's wait. According to a friend who gave the flyers this museum will be opened sometime in October 2018. So it's not long and ... Jogja has a place to go again ...

That was 4 museums that were unique in Jogja, so when did you walk to the museum?
