The pottery class was amazing! This deserves more than 5 stars. The teacher was so kind and helpful. I found it pretty difficult, but lots of fun, for only 50k idr per person. It is inside the museum where you can sign up for the class, the classes are I believe every 30 minutes. The building is beautiful, but the museum needs a massive renovation. Lighting on the art pieces is poor, information signs are lacking and at most places there is no English available or you have to access it through a QR code, which I found very inconvenient at a museum. I see visitors complain that the foreigner price is higher, well it is only 50k idr, which is €2,50. So really nothing to complain about, I happily pay a bit extra so that the museum is able to accommodate locals for a lower fare.

I would recommend it if you're into fine art as it might not appeal to non-art lovers. The museum fees for foreigner is higher (RP.50k) but not too expensive. The museum text are in Indonesian, there are QR for English translation but they don't work . The flow of the fine art sections actually have intertwining historical elements to it. However the facilities are not well maintained, at one of the room, the lights are totally out and hard for me to admire the works. The museum focusses more on the artist bio than the thoughts behind the work. The Ceramic side of the museum is more historical than ceramics fine art as it focusses on ceramic artefacts from majapahit kingdom. I wasn't really interested. There are also pottery classes which you can sign up for (didn't try this) and the museum has a library. The souvenir shop sells mostly ceramic pieces and typical museum merchandise (tote bag, mugs, keychain).

This is a lovely museum with some very interesting fine art pieces with local Indonesian flavour. My favourite paintings were Wayang Golek, which translated to Puppet show, and Burung Garuda by Pande Gede Supada. I'm not really into ceramics, but much of the exhbits had Chinese influences. If you go upstairs, there an interesting wood sculpture of bat with the body of awell endowed woman. The only negative is that foreigners are charge much more than the locals. It's still reasonably priced for the size of the collection and quality of the fine arts exhibits.

This is a recommended museum to visit while you’re in the Jakarta Kota Tua area: the Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik. One highlight of this museum is that visitors can join a pottery session. In addition to the museum entry fee, you can purchase clay for about IDR 30,000, which allows you to try pottery for around 30 minutes. There are instructors available who will guide and assist you throughout the process. This is a highly recommended activity to try while visiting. The museum can also fire and color your clay piece and deliver it to your address for an additional fee of around IDR 100,000. Overall, it’s a fun and memorable experience, great for both kids and adults.
