Historic painting of a man. Historic painting of a woman. Animal skull?
Items on display at the Keraton, Solo, Central Java. This museum had no signs in Indonesian, English or Javanese. There were also no tour guides around when I arrived.
Unfortunately, this is pretty typical for Indonesian museums. So much history, so little money for it to be preserved and displayed in a way that is meaningful and interesting.

I'm Ashlee, an Australian obsessed with travel, food and photography. After spending nearly two years working in Indonesia and six months in Washington DC, as well as a stint back home in Australia, I'm currently living in Dili, Timor Leste — the world's second newest country.
Sometimes I do serious work, but not usually on this blog.
