Photos of Roemah Djawa

Only managed to upload some photos. Don't know what happened. Either my PC has gone whacko or the internet connection or blogger. One of those days when everything seems to go wrong...

The Entrance to the House

(bottom right photo depicts the "Pendopo" in the main living area)

The house has 14 rooms (I think) and each room has it's own theme/function. There's the Chinese Room, Batik Room, ASMAT Room, Puppet Room, Beads Room, etc etc.

The Chinese Room

(Maybe I shouldn't have squashed 10 photos into this collage)

The HomeOwner's Bathroom

(The amount of jewellery can make any girl envious!)

ASMAT Room

(filled with Primitive Art from ASMAT tribe. Apparently the collection here is better than the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York!)

Stairway to Upstairs Area

There were many many more photos that I took. But just have so much problems uploading them. IT is indeed a very interesting home to visit. And despite having 14 rooms, the house is deemed too small for the vast collection of antiques and art. A new house has just been completed...and the move has already started, and anticipated to be ready to receive visitors mid-2010. I'm told that there would be a performance hall to showcase the rich culture.
