Ullen Sentalu Museum

It is a Javanese art and cultural museum. They’ve got a lot of pictures of the Javanese royals, paintings and crafts with historical themes (some are considered as mystical), old musical instruments like gamelan, and a collection of sacred handmade batik, which the princesses had to fast for days before making them. 

The architecture of the museum is awesome, structured with stonewalls and the building is labyrinth-like. The main building is built on a lower level, it’s like you’re going into a cave. There’s also stairs and narrow pathways with fences connecting the buildings. Too bad they don’t allow visitors to take pictures at all in the museum.
