A
Museum Geologi
About 3km north of the centre, the Museum Geologi is housed in the massive old headquarters of the Dutch Geological Service. It’s a good place to get to grips with all matters geological and volcanic in Indonesia, though there’s almost no information in English. Nevertheless it’s worth an hour or so poking around the lava stones, crystals and bones that include a model of Tyrannosaurus rex and a mammoth.

B
Museum Konperensi
The Museum Konperensi inside the Gedung Merdeka (Freedom Building) is dedicated to the Asia-Africa conference of 1955. The scanty exhibits are pretty disappointing, but there are a few interesting photos of Sukarno, Nehru, Ho Chi Minh, Nasser and other developing world leaders of the 1950s.

Museum Prangko
While you’re in the neighbourhood, dip into the Museum Prangko in the northeastern corner of the Gedung Sate complex. As well as thousands of stamps from around the world, the museum has everything from postboxes to pushcarts used since colonial times.
