Museum Purabaya
About
Museum Purabaya serves Java at CGFR+397, Jl. Pelempayung, Pelempayung, Gunungsari, Kec. Madiun, Kabupaten Madiun, Jawa Timur 63151, Indonesia, in the eastern part of the island. Visitors have given it a 4.9 out of 5 average across 11 reviews, an exceptionally high mark for a site of its size.
Madiun sits away from the island's biggest cities, but road and rail links connect the regency to Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Solo, Semarang, Malang, Bandung, Bogor and Jakarta. Motorbikes outnumber cars on Indonesian roads, and ojek riders carry passengers for hire, so getting around locally is straightforward.
The museum's position on Jl. Pelempayung in Gunungsari places it within the Madiun regency rather than the city centre. Bahasa Indonesia is the national language, and hundreds of regional languages such as Javanese and Sundanese are also spoken, so a few words of Indonesian help in the area.
Most of Indonesia has a tropical monsoon climate, with rain heaviest between November and March, so the drier months suit a visit to an outdoor site. Islam is the majority religion in Indonesia, and Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and animist traditions are also practised across the archipelago.
