Lokananta
Indonesia's first state-run record studio, founded in 1956; after renovation it has become a music museum and creative complex.
Lokananta recorded a great deal of music and speeches from the early years of Indonesian independence, and preserves tens of thousands of master tapes and vinyl records, including one of the earliest recordings of the national anthem. In 2023 it was converted into a creative space with a music museum, an old recording studio still in use, a vinyl shop, a café and performance venues, and it is much loved by young people. The museum requires a ticket, while the grounds can be explored freely. It is located in the western part of the city, not far from Laweyan batik village.
