I liked this Wayang pupppets, but also the reminding tombstones of the dutch. they do us remember quite a history far from their homes !

Museum wayang is a really interesting little place to visit. A mixture of the wonderful puppets that are so renowned throughout the world and some history thrown in.

To see the beautiful puppets is really nice. They are pieces of real art and so colorful. It only costs you one dollar and half an hour to walk through this museum.

Loved it here. So many creative puppets. Would love for an update of this museum, needs love. It truly is a diamond in the rough.
