The Maritime Museum (Indonesian: Museum Bahari) is located in the old Sunda Kelapa harbor area in Penjaringan Administrative Village, Penjaringan Subdistrict, Jakarta, Indonesia. The museum was inaugurated inside the former Dutch East India Company warehouses. The museum focuses on the maritime history of Indonesia and the importance of the sea to the economy of present-day Indonesia.
The museum displays models of fishing boats and other maritime objects from different parts of Indonesia. The museum also exhibits the celebrated Pinisi schooners of the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, which at present make up one of the last sea-going sailing fleets in the world. In January 2018, much of the museum was destroyed by a fire. The goods inside the burnt museum was evacuated later than from the fire. The cause of the fire was caused by the due to electric short circuit.

Today, the condition and collections are better than 10 years ago. No more fishy smell. Centralized air conditioner and free-flow air makes visitors comfortable.

Worth visiting place. With only IDR 5,000 you can visit this historical place, a National maritime museum. Besides old wooden hulls displayed here, there is a room of diorama about the stories of ancient travelers.

First time I visited this museum was 10 years ago, it was so crowded with the Pasar Ikan & kind of creepy because they lack of artificial light and no AC. But these day, they have improved more, they provide AC, more artificial light & more exhibited things (especially in the history parts). Sadly half of the museum was burnt 😭 and the Pasar Ikan no longer fill the way to the museum which is I think part of the story of the museum. On the way to the Maritime Museum you could also see & visit Menara Syahbandar!! It really worth a try to go up up up to the top of it😃😃😃
