Bung Hatta Birth House
Rumah Kelahiran Bung Hatta
The birthplace of Mohammad Hatta, Indonesia's founding vice president: a two-story wooden house rebuilt to its original form, displaying family belongings and biographical material.
Hatta was born here in 1902. He and Sukarno jointly proclaimed Indonesian independence, and he is one of the country's most respected founding fathers. The house was rebuilt in 1995 to its original appearance and includes a bedroom, study, stable and rice barn, with photographs of his life and family documents on the walls. Entry is free, though visitors may donate. A visit takes about 30 minutes. The house is on Sukarno-Hatta Road in the city center and within walking distance.
