It is in the city center and it is better to stop by and look around if it is nearby rather than going there. Entrance fee is 10,000 rupiah. The traditional Indonesian knife is interesting.

The government should pay more attention to make this place more interesting and more attractive for young generation. We will realize that the independence of Indonesia was precious thing. It took much sacrifice and blood. Our former spent their everything to win the war over the colonials.

The museum has various collection from photos, flags, paintings, uniforms, vintage newspapers and banknotes, official letters, artillery, rifles, pistols, vintage computer and medical tools, and traditional weapons, mainly keris. The collections are from the era of Dutch military aggression onward (please kindly correct if I'm wrong 🙏🏿). The museum is located right beside the main road. An armored vehicle is placed at the entrance. There are nice toilets in it. The entrance fee is only 10,000 IDR.

History is always interesting to me. Not a big museum, and focusses on the struggle for independence. (seems to be a common theme in Asian countries). So always good to hear the other side of the story. No English display descriptions but I use the google translate camera feature and can work out most descriptions.

Brawijaya Museum is a museum that displays the history of nation's armed struggle to seize independence. Much of the military equipment used by republican fighters is shown here. A suitable place to give an insight into nationality and nationalism in children. There should be more attention from Indonesian Army and local government to renovate and renew museum facilities.
