Indonesia is my beautiful country wide total land 1.922.570 km2, wide total of the oceans 3.257.483 km2 and amount of resident 237 million. I call my country “Paradise from Southeast Asia”. Indonesia is the largest archipelago country located in tropical area consist of 17.000 islands especially Sumatera Island, Java Island, Borneo (Kalimantan) Island, Sulawesi Island, Papua Island are big islands in Indonesia. Indonesia consist of 34 provinces, 349 sub-provinces, 91 cities, 6 administrative cities, 4.819 districts, 68.045 villages. Indonesia confessing six formal religion those are Islam, Christian, Catholic, Hindu, Buddha, and Kong Hu Chu. Now, Indonesia have 740 ethnics and 583 local languages (national language is Indonesia language). Indonesia independence day is August 17, 1945.
Foreign tourist most only recognize Indonesia with title Bali Island, The Capital City of Jakarta, The Cultural City of Yogyakarta, Krakatau Mount, Toba Lake, Borobudur Temple, ‘Batik’ cloth, Puppet (wayang), traditional music ‘Gamelan’ or ‘Angklung’, Komodo (Dragon), etc. In fact, Indonesia still have a lot other natural property and cultural property.

Yesterday, I was visiting to National Museum, Jakarta for my weekend holiday. National Museum, Jakarta is one of the biggest museum in Indonesia. In this place, I can see about history, culture, art, language, knowledge, religion, social organization about all ethnics in Indonesia, example: statues (arca) age Hindu-Buddha kingdom in Indonesia, arts from traditional ethnics around Indonesia like traditional statues, traditional swords (keris), traditional puppets (wayang), traditional clothes, traditional masks, custom houses, etc.
For me, this museum gave taste about full knowledge about culture of Indonesia. I can see traditional culture from many ethnics around Indonesia like Java, Sunda, Madura, Melayu, Minangkabau, Batak, Aceh, Dayak, Sawu, Minahasa, Toraja, Bugis, Bali, Sasak, Timor, Flores, Ambon, Biak, Dani, Asmat, etc. I think this place very interesting to be visited especially for social scientist like antropolog, sociolog, filolog, or etnolog to study about Indonesia culture (Indonesia studies).[]
Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. It’s meaning ‘Unity in diversity’ like INDONESIA…
