ABRI (Armed Foreces of Indonesia) Museum

In this blog sees us visiting the ABRI (Armed Forces of Indonesia) Museum. The entry fee was really cheap only about 7,ooorp per adult. The building its self was showing it was in need of maintenance and the most of the displays were in need of a good dusting. The displays lacked information in English and the dioramas were old and a bit cheesy.
As you walked through the museum you got the idea that if someone in the armed forces in Indonesia sneezed they would get a metal to pin on their chest.
From the metal displays, the armoury, the planes also the tanks in the out outdoor area if you are interested in this type of history then you might find this museum interesting but if you are someone who isn't into armed forces items I would spend your time somewhere else.
