Museum Monumen Yogya Kembali
Greetings everyone
How are you dear friends?. Thank you Wednesdaywalk Community inspired by @tattoodjay. This time I walked in one of the museums in Yogyakarta, called Monumen Yogya Kembali.
Yogyakarta is know as a city of struggle, a city of education, a city of culture,and a city of tourism . One of these title is Yogyakarta as a city of struggle.
Which has become ingrained in the people of Yogyakarta nation general. The Yogyakarta monument was rebuilt to commemorate the historic event of the return of the capital city of Yogyakarta to the Republic of indonesia on Juni 29,1949.
The monument is located on the Northern ring road of Yogyakarta city. Before entering the museum, I bought a ticket at the entrance for 15.000,- IDR or ($0,89). The ticket officer have me directions to the museum building.
I took in the garden layout and the building's shape, the cone shaped museum building stands approximetely 32 meters high. In Javanese culture philosophy the cone shape symbolizes victory.
The museum building is surrounded by a pool filled with water, both for aesthetics and for environmental considerations, to ensure a cool atmosphere. The Yogya museum was re-inaugurated on june 6, 1989. The conical-shaped museum building has three floors. The first floor is used by the museum management, a collection of the 1949 general events.
A collection of guerrilla warfare, the proclamation of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. Yogyakarta was once the capital of the country.
The situation of the public kitchen during the second Dutch military aggression. In preparing food for fighters in guerrilia areas.
Student army carts as means of transporting weapons and medical equipment,logistics during the two military aggression of 1948-1949.The stretcher and slop were used by Commander-in chief general Soedirman in leading the guerrilla in the area around Yogyakarta.
Then on the second floor, it is used as 3-dimensional diorama.The General Attack of March 1, 1949. The resistance of the people together with the army against the Dutch on December 23,1948 around Yogyakarta for six hours in the end Yogya was captured and occupied by Indonesian troops.
The withdrawal of Dutch troops in Yogyakarta on june 29,1949. Commemoration of the proclamation on August 17, 1949. Commander-in-chief general Soedirman arrived at the presiden palace in Yogyakarta on July 10,1949 after returning from the guerrilla field.
From the first and second floors, then I went to the third floor, where the third floor fuctions as a silent room where we can pray for the herois who died on the battlefield.
By rebuilding the Monumen Yogya Kembali, it is hoped that the next generation of the nation can inherit the soul, spirit, and Noble values of the nation's struggle.
Thank you for reading.

Love the conical architecture, and the museum looks like it was very well laid out. I have a love/hate relationship with war museums, I think they're essential for preserving/learning history (assuming they're put together properly), but I find them very painful to be inside.
@ryivhnn. Yes I also like the architecture form with it's philosophical meaning. Yes one of the functions of a museum is as historical learning for future generations. From history, we can determine the future. In the history of war, there are those who benefit and those who lose. And concerns the honor of the nation. That's my opinion. Thank you friend, for sharing your experience and good comment. Have a great day. Greetings from indonesia.
