Although the small size it has, the museum is a great place for public to know more about the maritime history especially in Indonesia. Located in front of a hotel, the shape of the front of a big ship is hard to miss from the traffic. You must pay for IDR 2.000 for entry and write on the guestbook. The first floor of the exhibition building contains mementos from other countries gifted towards the Indonesian maritime. Make sure you don't miss any single shelf since each country has their own unique items. Then you will go to the second floor which has more of Indonesian maritime stuffs being displayed with a little bit of foreign items, too. After that, the museum staff will ask you to come to the 'ship' building nearby the exhibition building. You will go to the second floor where you can enter a small bridge (the commando room). The last stop would be a small theater room below the bridge. You will watch a short movie about the history of Indonesian maritime. Don't miss the movie since it is very good (disclosure: the movie is in Bahasa)

Went here om a Sunday at noon but it is closed. Can't figure it out when is open

for only IDR 2K for the admission ticket, this museum is small indeed. there is a two-story building with seemingly private collection of documents, warship and navy boat models, statues, insignias, etc. it also lacks of lighting (it was turned off even when we come visiting the room). probably the most interesting part is only the ship bridge which contains ship's wheel, maps cabinet, electronic instruments, etc. you could take nice instagram picture here.

While named as Maritime Museum (Museum Maritime), most of this museum collection is Indonesian Navy paraphernalia. This should not surprise you if you know that the founder of this museum is an Indonesian Navy Officer. Coming to this museum we are greeted by a naval gun turret. Behind the gun is a mock ship bridge, in fact the lay out of the whole building looks like ship if seen from afar. As mentioned above, you would find Indonesian Navy paraphernalia such as uniform, officer sword, and rank badge/epsulette. It would be fascinating to kids who loves all thing military. Of course you could buy some stuff in this museum. The mock bridge is equipped with real ship control and gauges, so get your fantasy & imagination going! You could try to be a siipper here!
