SIGHTSEEING PLACES


MUSEUM GEOLOGI
The Museum Geologi is a good place to get to grips with all matters geological and volcanic in Indonesia, though there’s almost no information in English. Nevertheless it’s worth an hour or so poking around the lava stones, crystals and bones that include a model of Tyrannosaurus rex and a mammoth.




MUSEUM KONPERENSI
The Museum Konperensi inside the Gedung Merdeka (Freedom Building) is dedicated to the Asia-Africa conference of 1955. There are a few interesting photos of  Sukarno, Nehru, Ho Chi Minh, Nasser and other developing world leaders of the 1950s.





VILLA ISOLA
Villa Isola is a landmark art deco building, a four storey villa built by a Dutch media baron in the 1930s as a private residence. It’s now the University of  Education administrative offices.
