THE TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM



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.
