for all of you who want to visit, you can follow this procedure. The first time you enter, do the registration and you will be directed to the batik room I. Then, once you are done, you can exit and enter Room II, and Room 3. Then there is a shop like a canteen where you can buy snacks, followed by a library, a batik workshop, and a batik/souvenir shop.

It's a nice educational museum, where we can learn about various traditional batiks in Indonesia. The ticket price is cheap. There are not many exhibition rooms, but they're placed neatly. It only needs to provide a guide to visitors from outside the town.

Visited this museum during Idul Fitri holiday. Not a queue at all so once the tickets are settled, we could directly start the tour of the exhibition rooms. Room one gave information on 3 main types of batik; Rifaiyah, Jelamprang and Besurek. Room two mainly displays major patterns like sido and nitik. Room three has a more fusion pattern like a combination of kawung and a painting of koi fishes. The last room is the most exciting of all; we can have a little hands-on experience on making batik, either tulis or cap. What a fruitful visit we had! Do not worry if you get thirsty or hungry, the museum has a little shop that sells snacks and beverages.

You must have a good local tourist guide alongside with you when you look at the batik collection in this museum, laid out in three rooms and sections. Or else all the numerous motifs, deep symbolism, colours and laborious creation process would likely be lost on you. A good guide would be able to point out motifs, colours and techniques on the tip of their fingertips. Most of the wall text are in Bahasa Indonesia. The museum shop is excellent as it retails in one location ready-to-wear and textiles from numerous traditional batik studios located in Pekalongan. Allocate time to browse if you are a serious batik shopper!

My favorite Batik Museum. The visit was taken in 2020. The museum is located in the center of Pekalongan, so very easy to go there. The number of batik on exhibition is large, with brief introduction, it would be better if English version introduction could be provided.☺️ Personally I prefer Pekalongan style batik, the colorful floral pattern is an ideal symbol of the tropics, where I love most. The tour guide will explain the features of batik to visitors if visitors wish, the whole duration is free of charge. Thanks the kind tour guide lady, because I have been keen to know more about Indonesians’ batik, her assistance was of great help.☺️🙏 Visitors may choose to make a batik by stamping the wax on a piece of white cotton cloth, to experience the procedures of creating a piece of batik. It is a really wonderful experience, and hope to go to the museum again in the near future.
