Historical Museums in Bandung Part 2

Born and raised in the city of Paris Van Java, I have known many historical museums in Bandung since I was a child. Some of the museums I have even known since I was in Kindergarten because I live near the center of government. This time I took a walk through various museums with community friends. Wrapped in an interesting game, this activity successfully added to our joy on Sunday.

Geology Museum

If Menong's friends are interested in obtaining information about rocks or geological materials in general, the Geology Museum located on Jalan Diponegoro No 57 – not far from Gedung Sate and Gasibu Field–, could become the right place to visit.

This museum is one of the historical museums in Bandung and was inaugurated on May 16, 1929. It is divided into the Indonesian Geology Room which is on the right wing demonstrate the origin of the earth, the structure and movement of the earth's crust, rocks and minerals, weathering and erosion. A collection of native Indonesian stones of various shapes and colors will amaze Menong's friends with their beauty.

The other room is the Life History Room is on the east wing. The life history is divided into 4 display angles (pre Cambrian and Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic which consists of epochs Tertiary and Quaternary), 1 corner of the fossil world, information on the history of its formation Bandung, artifacts and fauna relics that live in Bandung.
