The Mind-Boggling Museum Angkut

After an absence of several months, here I come with many traveling stories with husband. Our traveling tales will go back and forth. This quest to Museum Angkut, Batu - Malang was undergone a month after we were pronounced as husband and wife which was around May.
 
The newlyweds set off the journey at noon. It took an hour to the museum from the downtown of Malang. The ticket price was only IDR 80K for entering the museum and Movie Star Studio which is located nearby.

Mostly, this museum of transportation is indoor so every visitor can enjoy the attraction without getting wet when the rain falls down. There are several zones in the museum you can explore such as the Main Hall and Education Zone, the Sunda Kelapa and Batavia Zone, the Germany Zone, the France Zone, the England Zone, the Hollywood Zone, and many more.

#1 Main Hall and Education Zone




We start our walk to the sprawling old-fashioned cars and motorcycles. A car that attracted our attention was the First Indonesian President's car, Chrysler Windsor Deluxe.

#2 Sunda Kelapa Zone



In this part of the museum, tourists can see the old port of Jakarta with pinisi lining up as the background. At the side of the street, antique, vintage, and classic cars are parked.

# 3 US Zone





In love with everything vintage here - the bike, the radio, the wardrobe and even the portrait of people from the 18th century. It's like I'm traveling backwards in time.

# 4 New York's Gangster, France, Rome, Berlin, London


 






Each city theme serves the replica of the most recognizable landmark they have: France with the graceful Eiffel Tower, Rome with the unique Leaning Tower of Pisa, Berlin with the amazing Berlin Wall, and London with the stunning Buckingham Palace. The most favorite place of mine was the Gangster Town in New York and the Buckingham Palace in London. When we wander to the street of old New York, the pulse of dark yet gleaming town can be felt. The pub, cinema, prison, cafe in the 1930s of New York are worth visiting. Meanwhile, the garden and the structure of Buckingham Palace look seamless just like the original one in England. All of the attractions offer a pleasant spot to take pictures. Museum Angkut offers an extraordinary experience that gives a unique insight into the transportation's history around the world. So, if you have a chance to visit Malang, don't miss this place.
