Sasmitaloka General Ahmad Yani Museum
MentengAbout
This museum is dedicated to the prominent Indonesian General, Ahmad Yani, who was murdered here, in his house, on the night of the 1965 coup-attempt. He was born in 1922, participated in the War for Independence and became a general in 1962. The house is preserved as it was, with Yani's belongings on display. This serves to highlight the terror of that fateful night. A statue of the revered figure greets visitors as they come to pay their respects and celebrate his bravery. Do take off your shoes before entering.
