Pasar Jum'at, West Java, Indonesia
Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you are all right. Last May, I visited Purwakarta. I may have been in Purwakarta for about a week. There are many things I do in Purwakarta. This place is a museum that tells the history of Indonesia. The name of this museum is the Bales Panyawangan Diorama Nusantara Museum.
This museum was built a long time ago. I need to remember when it was built, maybe 5 years ago. I see this museum as a summary of Indonesian history. We know that Indonesian stories are spread across many museums and this museum summarizes them in one place. From the stories I got, this museum aims to archive these stories.
The story starts from the early human civilization in Indonesia from every aspect and development. Starting from regional data, religion, arts, social, and government systems. Currently, this museum is an educational tourist attraction in Purwakarta. There are also several digital technologies. This museum is divided into two parts, namely Bale Maharaja Lingghabuana and Bale Prabu Niskal Wastukencana.
When I came to this place I felt very proud. Because many people use Sundanese. Sundanese is the language used in every part of this museum. For example, in Bale Maharaja Lingghabuana tells about the history of the Sundanese Tatars. This makes me proud that I was born as a Sundanese person.
Then, Bale Prabu Niskal Wastukancana told the story of the Purwakarta leader. It must be admitted, that Purwakarta is a small region in West Java. Bandung has become very popular in West Java. Meanwhile, other areas are not as popular. This museum introduces Purwakarta. Regarding the facilities of this place, there are parking areas, guides, and others.
Regarding the objects here, of course, I think this place is a replica. This museum also presents a biography of the regent in Purwakarta. Of course, this place was built for young people not blind to history. The first impression I felt when I entered this museum was that there were various cultures, symbols, traditional houses, and culinary delights in the museum. I feel that Indonesia is a rich country.
I want to tell you about other areas in this Museum. There is Bale Prabu Ningrat which tells the condition of Purwakarta from time to time. Starting from the period of the national movement to Japanese colonization. One more thing I have to inform you about is that this place received an award from UNESCO for Indonesian heritage. Make this place a reference for studying history.
Apart from the story I told, there is also Bale Madura which tells about human civilization from prehistory to the formation of the archipelago. Here, I tell a very complete story about Indonesia. Moving forward to Bales Sumatra, which tells the story of the process of forming the earth's land.
If you look at Indonesia, the story of the kingdom cannot be left behind. Indonesia has stories of Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic kingdoms. Enter Bale West Nusa Tenggara which tells the history of the Islamic kingdom in Indonesia. Continue with the story of the mural and relief named Bale Flores. The story closes with a UNESCO award for Purwakarta. That's all I can say about this place. what do you think? are you interested? I'll tell you a lot of stories. Do not miss.
