Monumen Pers Nasional Indonesia (National Monument of Press of Indonesia)

Continuation of the Tour de Solo
-------------------------------------------------

After taking city bus (ATMO) I then dropped at the National Monument of Press of Indonesia. I was explained about several things there related to the development of press of Indonesia. Actually the building had just been renovated lately before I came there, that's why I could only enjoy the museum mostly.



above is one of the examples of the old newspaper Indonesia had years ago. It is kept well as it is framed to be exhibited to the visitors.

The museum. Actually this place (read: National Monument of Press) has many functions. There are rooms for seminar, exhibiton, museum, etc.

It is an old telegram kept in the museum. As for me, it's quite impressive to see such thing.

One of the important figures in Indonesia's press. I forgot his name, but I remembered that I was explained he was involved in press in Timor-timor (now Timor Leste). He died in accident when he was flying with his parachute. Stuffs around the picture are his favorite stuffs.
Anyway, because I almost completely forget about the whole explanation back then, so please forgive me if my description about this national figure in picture is wrong.

Those ten statues are the statues of the face of the ten figures who preceded the National Monument of Press of Indonesia by establishing conference of press.

Diorama that models how the press in Indonesia worked in the past. It looks good and interesting, isn't it?

It's the stone of official establisment of the National Monument pf Press of Indonesia. It was officially signed by Soeharto in 1978, the Presidend of Republic of Indonesia back then.





other stuffs in the museum.

The last picture I took before I left. It's in front of the entrance
