Insightful place to know better President Soekarno as a person and how his learnings/reflection during the exile helps him shaping the vision he about to bring out for Indonesia's independence.

The place is well preserved and clean. Quite affordable ticket price

This place is an important and inseparable witness to the history of the presence of this great Republic. Ir. Soekarno, the President of the Republic of Indonesia and a person who read the text of the proclamation of Indonesian independence, was exiled by the Dutch colonialists in this house for 4 years (1938 - 1942).

A fusion house of European and Chinese architecture, on Soekarno-Hatta street, RT. 05 RW. 02 No. 02 Anggut Atas village, Ratu Samban sub-district, Bengkulu city, Bengkulu province, originally belonged to a Chinese trader who supplied basic materials for the needs of the Dutch colonial government in Bengkulu. In this house which is a silent witness to history, there is still 1 unit of ondel bicycle, a set of chairs located in the living room, a dining cupboard and a dressing table.

You don't have to know the whole history of Soekarno before visiting this place. The clues of each stuff and wall pictures tell many stories, not only about Soekarno himself but Indonesia as well. The caretaker would like also to ask your questions and help you take photos. And don't forget to wash your hands with the freshwater from the well in the backyard.

A historical place. You can find historical photos and artifacts in the museum and get a wealth of information how Soekarno continue to fight for Indonesia' independance despite being in excile. You can also get insight on Soekarno's personal life and family.

Soekarno's Exile House. This place has historical importance, sadly it is quite small and there really isn't much to see.

If you want to visit Rumah Pengasingan Bung Karno, make sure you read its history before your coming. Otherwise, you will only spend 5 minutes in there, seeing things without knowing their stories. Baby and toddler friendly because you can let your baby explore the yard.
