Bung Karno Exile House
Situs Rumah Pengasingan Bung Karno
The small house where Indonesia's founding father Sukarno lived during his Dutch colonial exile from 1934 to 1938, now a memorial museum.
In 1934 the Dutch East Indies authorities exiled Sukarno to Ende, where he lived with his family for about four years in this modest bungalow. There he wrote plays and developed the ideas that later became Pancasila, the five principles of the Indonesian state. The house displays original furniture, manuscripts and photographs, and the backyard has a prayer room and a well. It is small, and a visit takes about half an hour. Entry is very cheap or by donation, and it is usually open during the day, though it may close at midday. It is located in central Ende and can be visited together with the nearby Sukarno Contemplation Park.
