Siola Surabaya Museum

3 Ilham Perkasa - 3 months ago

A truly mixed-use building, feels like a maze. It has a poor vertical connection. Be careful about your time when visiting this building for first-timer, because you may get confuse. Alternative for motorcycle rider, could park your vehicle at TEC basement, the entrance is next to this building on Jl. Tunjungan. For car driver, could park on-street at Jl. Genteng Kali.

One stop service for surabaya government. Quite interesting with museum inside and gift shop. And they have coworking space in across the building. The building itself was a shopping mall before but the government renovated it into beautiful building now. An iconic place in surabaya.

The building mainly functions as a one-stop administration service for residents of Surabaya. The museum takes up one-third of the first floor, and shows the work of Surabaya City government. It exhibits photos, old documents (mostly old citizens' registration and logbook, e.g. birth certificate u0026 marriage record, citizen ID's), mannequins wearing uniforms of public servants, tools and equipment used in public services, including old hospital equipment (which was a bit eerie) and several vehicles used as public transport in the old days.

It's actually a good idea to have the museum in this busy building. People can stop by while doing their administrative stuff. If this museum were located elsewhere with less traffic of people, it would probably become a quiet and deserted place.

There's a souvenir shop in the corner of 1st floor, next to the museum.

Small museum about Surabaya.
You could see from the photo how Surabaya in old style, Surabaya major, Surabaya achievement, WR Supratman violin, etc.

If there is interactive media, this museum would be very attracted, not to quiet.

Good place for learning history.

This place is not worth making a special trip for.

If you're in the area then maybe pop in and take a quick glance but there's nothing that interesting. It is a collection of old artifacts such as an old dental chair with very few annotations so no clue what it's all about and why things are on display.

The 'museum' seems to be in a relatively busy local government office.

Nice place for having meet up with friends, because any coridor which made for fullfilling the Surabaya people's need. Cozy place for making small workshop, browsing and many other activities.
The students of college also can use this place for finishing their task from lecturer.

This is a museum that is integrated to several Integrated Service Unit (Unit Pelayanan Terpadu) of Surabaya's City Government. The information about the collections are very related to Surabaya, such as the map of Surabaya in several hundred years ago, machines that used in Surabaya a long time ago, and souvenirs from Surabaya's sister cities. It is free to come here, just enter the building (from the North Side) and follow the instructions.
