Museum Radya Pustaka
One of Indonesia's oldest museums, founded in 1890, with collections of Javanese manuscripts, shadow puppets and court relics.
The museum was founded by a minister of the Solo palace. Its collection includes Javanese classical literary manuscripts, court musical instruments, shadow puppets, Dutch-period furniture and Hindu statues unearthed in archaeological digs. It is modest in size but of high historical value. At the entrance stands a bust of the famous poet Ranggawarsita. Admission is inexpensive. It is located on Jalan Slamet Riyadi, next to Sriwedari Park and the Danar Hadi Batik Museum.
