Otw to Museum Taman Prasasti (Inscription Park Museum)

When I was chatting with one of the staff in Museum Gajah, I told him that my next destination after Museum Gajah would be Monas. It was then when I got the info: that the elevator to the top of Monas was currently being repaired, and that I'd still be able to explore the museum at the bottom of Monas, but hey, the Monas experience wouldn't be complete without getting to the top of it and enjoy the view of Jakarta from above, right?

Thanks to the staff who informed me on this update, I'll delay my trip to Monas until after the elevator's running again. I've been to Monas anyway (although just like my previous trip to Museum Gajah - it was years and years ago).

So then I decided to explore another museum in the nearby area - Museum Taman Prasasti (Inscription Park Museum). Although it's called a museum, it's actually more of a memorial park. You'll find out what I mean when we get there.

So how do we get there?

From Museum Gajah, I walked to the north along Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, passing by (in order of nearest-farthest to Museum Gajah)...

Kementerian Komunikasi & Informatika (Kemkominfo) / Ministry of Communication & Information

Kementerian Perhubungan (Kemhub) / Ministry of Transportation

Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian / Coordinating Ministry of Economy

Mahkamah Konstitusi / Constitutional Court

Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) / Radio of the Republic of Indonesia

Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Kesejahteraan Rakyat (Kemko Kesra) / Coordinating Ministry of People's Welfare

Yes, these are all active government offices. You'll find a lot more around the area, as central Jakarta (especially the area around Monas) is like the Washington, DC of Indonesia.

After passing by Kemko Kesra, I reached the end of Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat. From here, turn left towards Jalan Tanah Abang 1 and you'll see Museum Taman Prasasti in a few minutes.

Ready to explore the next destination? Let's hit it!
