Merapi Volcano Museum

3 NoahJon Marshall - 9 months ago

great information, not great upkeep (hard when the entrance free is only 5k). worth a stop if in the area. solid displays/exhibits about volcanic/geological fundamentals, detailed history of Merapi and Indonesian volcanoes in general. whole thing takes about 20 minutes. plenty of parking and good quality roads to get there. bathrooms have no toilet paper.

A modern educational museum on Mt. Merapi and volcanology in Banteng, Hargobinangun, Pakem District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. It offers a cool air, a direct distant view to Mt. Merapi, computerized audiovisual presentations, a detailed 3D (pre-2010 eruption) physical model of Mt. Merapi, educational games and a movie theater about Mt. Merapi. Some simple food stalls can be found outside. Vast parking lots for motorbikes, cars and buses. Clean toilets and musholla (moslem prayer place). Not so far from the World Landmarks Merapi Park and Kaliurang mountainside resort. There are many budget inns nearby.

A very affordable and nice museum, some of the description doesn't have a translation near it though. And it's quite scary, i got goosebumps.

This is educative for children's. I like it very much.

This impressive museum is located in a striking angular structure that resembles a volcano. Exhibits dedicated to Merapi include a scale model, which demonstrates eruptions from the 18th century until today and how they altered the mountain's shape. There are vintage seismometers on display, along with a motorbike excavated from molten ash. There's an earthquake simulator, a cinema screening the story of the 2010 eruption (10,000Rp) and profiles covering volcanoes of Indonesia and the world.

The shape of the building is iconic. The museum is very educative. I spent more than an hour here just to explore the museum and read every caption. The installations are very interesting and some of them are interactive. They have some relicts from 2010's eruption of Mt. Merapi. This place is very recommended to you who visit Jogja, especially for students.

High recommended for museum tour. All about of Geology and Volcano education. The Merapi cinema was amazing, creative, great and cool... Recommended for kids, stundents, parents etc. The price is very cheap, only 5000 rupiah but worth it!
