The Museum Perjuangan Yogyakarta or Yogyakarta Museum of Struggle is established to appreciate and commemorate Indonesia Struggle for freedom. The building is a cylindrical round shape with a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 17 meters which is a blend of Ancient Roman model buildings with eastern models. The Yogyakarta Museum of Struggle was built as a form of appreciation from the government to commemorate half a century of National Awakening Day. The construction of this museum began with the laying of the first stone on June 29, 1961 by Sri Paku Alam VIII and was completed in 1963. One of the attractions of the Yogyakarta Museum of Struggle was its unique form of building. In all the lower part of the roof of the building there are reliefs of the struggle of the Indonesian people and statues of the faces of national heroes. The relief inside the museum tells the story of the history of the Indonesian nation's struggle which began from the founding of Budi Utomo until the formation of the Indonesian Unitary Republic of Indonesia. On the roof of the museum building is made like a headpiece with 5 pieces of bamboo runcung that stand on the globe. While on the left and right side of the entrance there is a makara decoration which is a symbol of the reinforcements. In front of the entrance there are 17 traps and 8 entrances. The windows around the outer wall are separated by pillars that have been decorated with lava carvings that resemble 45 non-extinguished fire. All of these buildings are symbols of Indonesia's independence day on August 17, 45. The collection from the Museum of Struggle is divided into two actor roles.
