Feel so bored in kost, i accepted my frend’s invitation went to museum around Yogyakarta. In Yogyakarta you can find a lot of museums, like Wayang Kanton Museum, Batik Museum, Mount Merapi Museum, Monumen Jogja Kembali Museum, and others. First, we went to Ullen Sentalu Museum. Ullen Sentalu Museum located in the foothill of Mount Merapi. This museum contents are about the ginealogy, paints, statues, private collection of The Kings, It’s family and It’s descent (until now) of Mataram Islam Empire.

This museum has beautiful architecture, combination from floating garden, modern, and traditional. Most of the whole contents in this museum are paints of The Kings, Queens, and its family of Kasunanan, Kasultanan, Pakuningratan and Mangkunegaran kingdoms. When Java was in empire age, there was a big kingdoms that rules whole of Java island and its surrounding. It's Mataram Islam, and the King is Panembahan Senopati. Then, Mataram Islam kingdom break into 4 little kingdoms, there were Kasultanan and Paku Alaman in Yogyakarta, then Kasunanan and Mangkunegaran in Surakarta or familiar with the title Solo. Unfortunately, we couldnt took pictures here,as the main rule. We only could took pictures just in special area. In The end of Tour, we will be given a glass of old-royal-drink with secret recipes. People believe if we drink it we would ageless.
