Why go

Three different collections make this a focused museum day for visitors interested in objects, materials and the stories they carry. Start at the Textile Museum before walking northeast to Taman Prasasti Museum, where inscriptions and carved memorials shift the emphasis from cloth to stone. Finish at the National Museum, allowing the longest visit for its wider view of Indonesia’s cultures. The first connection is the day’s longest walk, so leave room for a rest between visits. Taman Prasasti is outdoors, which makes this better suited to manageable weather than a day of continuous rain. Confirm museum schedules before setting out.
