Museum Cheng Ho

The Museum isn't big, but full of knowledge about the growing of the Chines and their contribution to Indonesia. It also displays antiques. But it can't be seen from the main road of TMII, coz located inside of Taman Budaya Tionghoa (Chinese cultural Park). The acces of entrance still poor even inside the area has some good museums. The toilets are poor, dirty and placed far behind the museum.

I like building. Just beside museum hakka but this one not maintained very well. Dust and old dirty are the reason. But inside you can see so many collection about taman budaya tionghoa, even i just know after visit that ateng actually is Chinese. You can see other collections. Too bad they need to be preserved well because in many years the collections might getting in bad condition

Museum Cheng Ho was located in Taman Budaya Tionghoa TMII, together with Museum Peranakan Indonesia, both share this vintage architecture large mansion. Standing in front of the main entrance of this building is the statue of Admiral Cheng Ho (1371-1435) facing a very large artificial lake in this park.nnThe museum display the history of the first arrival of Chinese people to Indonesia, and where Islam were first introduced and spread by the Hui people from China, where the majority of the Hui people from China were muslims. In Museum Cheng Ho and Peranakan Indonesia are also displaying the start process of the construction of The Tionghoa Cultural Park TMII, and all other things like, pottery, batik, interior style of a vintage Chinese building, old photos, memorabilia, etc.nnThere so much to learn from this place, which I think it is very important, about the fact of the first Chinese people who settled down in Indonesia, and about the famous Chinese descendent. I think some of the facts in this place should be display in a school curriculum, in Indonesia history lesson.

Good. Need walk to reach here.
