Visit the Bank Indonesia Museum in Jakarta | A surprising journey of history and architecture

#7月好去处2025 The Museum Bank Indonesia, located in Kota Tua, Jakarta's old town, is one of the most surprising attractions of my trip. This colonial building built in the early 20th century was originally the Dutch Indonesian Bank. Now it has been carefully renovated, with an elegant and magnificent exterior. The interior also maintains a tall European-style lobby and stained glass, which makes people feel the strong historical atmosphere as soon as they enter the door. The exhibition focuses on the history of Indonesian currency and banking development, from ancient trade and spice era to colonial and modern financial evolution, all presented with vivid pictures, multimedia interactions and real artifacts. You can also see the old vault and banking business area, which will definitely be interesting for those interested in economics or history. The ticket price is cheap (only a few thousand rupiahs), and the location is close to other museums and Fatahillah Square, which is very suitable for a day trip to Kota Tua. Overall, the Museum Bank Indonesia not only allows people to better understand Indonesia's financial and colonial history, but also because the building itself is very interesting, it is a stop worth savoring.
