0.000 HBDA Visit to Museum Sonobudoyo Displaying Cultural Items Of Java
<center></center> <div class="text-justify"> Existing for over 88 years, Sonobudoyo Museum holds one of the most interesting artifacts that tells the story of Java, its neighboring island, and culture. Although the main collections in this museum is Javanese artifacts, they also feature Balinese arts as this neighboring island has a very close tie culturally and historically to Java. The museum is also located on the northern side of Keraton (Royal Palace) and the entrance fee is quite reasonable. It’s 10000 for locals and 20000 for foreigners. At the entrance, it is said to be a free guide where you can request a guide to take you around and explore the place with them. This is one of the most recommended sight-seeing when visiting Yogyakarta, especially around the Royal palace area.  <sup>The entrance to the museum the first compound </sup> A prelude to our trip today is that when we’re talking about Java, it specifically not only refers to central java but the greater java which comprises east, west and even the special region of Yogyakarta. In modern times, people typically refer to Java as only central and Yogyakarta. Did you know that the capital of Indonesia is also located in Java? It’s quite odd that sometimes people from the capital think they’re not from “java” while geographically, they’re part of Java too. In today’s virtual tour, I’ll be taking you around the museum collection which ranges from transportation methods, fine arts and performance, attire, cloth, to weaponry. While I was there, the museum was not only educational but also interactive. It is equipped with a high-tech interactive display and also games that visitors can try and play. It also features AR technology that you can try when inside the museum. This museum-curated collection tells a story that once we step outside the compound, we form a new appreciation of this culture as well as one of the oldest civilizations in history. There are two compounds in Museum Sonobudoyo, the first one is the old compound and the other one is the newest one. In the old compound, it hosts Balinese artwork and a set of gamelan orchestra belonging to the 7th Sultanate of Yogyakarta. The picture as showcased below, is the palanquin that’s used to transport the royals and the nobles.  Then as we entered the compound, we could see Balinese arts and culture. It has a display that mentioned why Bali, the neighbor, is showcased in a museum that mainly focuses on Javanese Culture.  As you exit the first compound, we’ll enter the second one. In front of the second compound, you can see a man displaying how to make Batik, a traditional javanese technique of clothing. Visitors are free to check out and try or simply observe it.  Starting with transportation, the collection showcases ways of people to move from one place to another during different periods of time. Back in the day people traveled with foot then moved to animal-drawn carriages to eventually to all sorts-of-public transportation that we know of today. In Yogyakarta, some traditional public transportation is still preserved. It’s not such a rarity that you can see traditional horse-drawn vehicles and carriages. Meanwhile the noble have their own ways of commuting.  The noble uses a palanquin to travel and this is the centerpiece of the display. The one that you’re seeing below is the palanquin that is used to transport the royals and noble families.  Up the stairs, you can see a variety of puppet which also undergoes change throughout the time. First, it was telling the story of Mahabharata to the story of Chinese settlers and eventually featuring characters from the Bible. You can see below, a variety of the puppet throughout time.  On the third floor, they display assorted Javanese weaponry. It’s called “Keris”. As explained on the display, Keris isn’t merely a weapon but it can also tell someone social status as well as deeper meaning in relation to spirituality. In the same spot as Keris, they also display various styles of Javanese cloth or batik. They also have some men dressed partially in batik showcasing how to place Keris in their body.  On this floor, one of the most intriguing collections is called “ Babad Perang Eropah”. It is written in Javanese script that tells about the war in Europe. When I asked the staff about it, the war could have been somewhere around the 18th or 19th. It is quite intriguing that the war from Europe could be heard even to Java despite in the past, there was no social media or advanced technology like we know of today.   Back to the second floor, I missed the masks area where they display various masks from different provinces in Java. So I went back to check it out. They are pretty intricate and the mask looks like they were alive staring at you. The way they display the mask is also worthy to note as they highlight each and one of them fairly well. These are some of the most beautiful masks displayed in the museum.  Another part that I missed was also the first floor when it comes to banquets and events. So after circling back the whole area, I came back to check the spot. In Javanese culture banquets and events remain an integral part of it. People like to gather, eat together and host banquets. However, overtime banquets are also influenced by other cultures. Such as when Europe was colonizing Indonesia, many of the cutlery was influenced by it.  As the main building tour ends, we can check out the garden that was filled with statues from the 8th to 9th century. This is the highlight of my visit where I enjoyed checking out the most. I found some intriguing buddha statues that I was trying to check out closer. I learned something new from them whilst also getting a lot more inspiration from them. These are some of my interesting capture from the place that have yet featured above.    I think this is one of the best museums in the region with friendly staff and everything that might be your question such as the “guide” and how much they might cost. Since their location is close to the Royal area, it is worth a visit to get deeper knowledge of the area and things that you might see around. As in the area, there are horse-drawn carriages as well as people wearing batik and perhaps, in some parts of the area you can see Keris keychain as well as traditional puppet that are sold in the market. In any case you want to learn something new, especially about Buddhism, you can check out my previous post [A Simple Understanding of Non-Verbal Communication as Depicted in Buddhist Art](https://peakd.com/hive-181017/@macchiata/a-simple-understanding-of-non-verbal-communication-as-depicted-in-buddhist-art) which also relates to the items in this museum. </div> <center></center> <center> Don't hesitate to upvote for more content like this !
