Lonely Planet review for Multatuli Museum

Better known by the pen name Multatuli – Latin for ‘I have suffered greatly’ – novelist Eduard Douwes Dekker was best known for Max Havelaar (1860), about corrupt colonialists in the Dutch East Indies. Dekker himself worked in colonial administration in Batavia (now Jakarta), and the book made him something of a social conscience for the Netherlands. This small but fascinating museum-home chronicles his life and works, and shows furniture and artefacts from his period in Indonesia.
