PETA Museum
Museum Pembela Tanah Air
Former training camp of the PETA (Defenders of the Homeland) militia during the Japanese occupation period, using models and artifacts to tell the story of the birth of Indonesia's independence forces.
The museum occupies a colonial-era building on Sudirman Road in central Bogor. During the Japanese occupation period it served as a training base for PETA (Defenders of the Homeland), an Indonesian local militia, and many later commanders of the independence war came out of it. The exhibits focus on scene models, weapons, and photographs, with limited English labeling. Admission is free or low-cost, and a visit takes about an hour. The museum is often closed on Mondays.
