I think this is one of the best museum in Yogyakarta. So rare. They have many collections of wayang puppets years by years and any materials. I learnt something new too, that head position and colors of the wayang have many meanings. The outside of the museum also awesome and oldies, you could find many collections of old cars also some statues around. Bad thing that happened to me -- I got bitten by mosquitos😫😫 So you have to wear long sleeves/long pants or just put autan all over your body😂😂

So, I've been here one time to do a mini research with my friends. My first impression of this museum was the lush atmosphere from the garden full of different kind of trees (it's nice). This is a private museum owned by a university professor (now it's managed by his son). The collections are all about wayang or traditional puppet. They have so many wayang even some which came from other countries. The collections are definitely amazing but the management is bad. The building is not well treated (there should be good lighting, air conditioner and cctv). The collections are also not well treated (they don't have curator). Outside of the museum there are a lot of unused cars that makes the surrounding look dirty (the cars belong to the son of the owner).

Very disappointing. Grounds and museum in horrible condition. Terrible to see such beautiful works of art improperly displayed. These wonderful works should be transferred to another museum where they can be properly displayed.

Such a convenient and airy to held a semi outdoor event, though the entrance gate is somehow quite narrow, and the location is a bit too far from the center of the town. The plus point is that the building is a private property so that the rental cost is very affordable.
