Indonesian batik heritage on display in Surakarta batik museum

An old European-Javanese building situated on Jl. Slamet Riyadi in Surakarta, Central Java, houses more than 10,000 vintage batik fabrics made between 1840 and 1910.

The owner of Dalem Wuryaningratan batik museum is Santosa Doelah, who is also founder of batik business Danar Hadi. It took him more than 30 years to collect the vast range of items. Up to 1,500 of the fabrics were directly obtained by Santosa from a curator at the Troupenmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Various types of batik can be found at the museum, including Belanda, Cina and India styles, as well as Java, Hokokai and Kraton styles that were specifically created for palace families.

Most of the items were obtained from four palaces in Surakarta and Yogyakarta.
