The growth and roles of transportation in the world
an in Indonesia have their own history. The fact that transportation and its
development play an important role in the country’s own development is a
philosophical foundation that based the creation of the Transportation Museum
in TMII.
The museum exhibits a wide range of objects of
transportation that have historic values in their development and play a role
in the nation’s movement for independence . The museum is intended to help the education
board teach people with the important meaning of transportation and how it is
useful in life. The implication is to educate the people to comply with with traffic
laws. As far as technology is concerned, the exhibits expose the public to the history
and variety of technologyin transportation in Indonesia and the world.
The initial idea for the museum was a train museum. A
wide variety of trains used in Indonesia were on display, amon others, the
train used by first Indonesian president and vice president when moving from Jakarta
to Yogyakarta on January 3rd, 1946. However, over much consideration
and basing on the technological expansion, the board of museum decided to make
the museum a full-aspect of transportation museum.
The grandstand of the Transportation Museum is
unique – a grandstand that offers a
shady area due to a ventilation crisscross above the columns that also depict
the three types of public transport: land, sea, and air.
