Soe Hok Gie (17 December 1942 – 16 December 1969) was a Chinese Indonesian activist who opposed the successive dictatorships of Presidents Sukarno and Suharto.
Soe was an ethnic Chinese Roman Catholic, the fourth of five children in his family. His father Soe Lie Piet was a literary writer and magazine editor, and his elder brother Arief Budiman was a sociologist and lecturer at Satya Wacana Christian University and a vocal critical voice in Indonesian politics.
i came here to see the gravestone of legendary young activist Soe Hok Gie, though the remains was not here anymore. He was later cremated and ashes spread on mountain. It's a small unnoticed historical site for architecture and photography entusiast. It's no longer graveyard since all body remains were moved but the grave monuments & statues etc still original, combined with the old trees it could be quite something chilly.

Not sure why this is a museum. Clearly this is a cemetery for the Dutch and while the statues are beautiful, I didn't really think it was worth coming here. Standard Rp 5k entrance fee. Suprisingly, I did get some beautiful pictures coming here during the day.

Photography spot and an outdoor museum. You should pay Rp 5.000,- ( As I remember foreigners have different price) before you get into this place. It look like a grave yard bit it isn't. It just show a tomstone that people used in Hindia era for their beloved one. In my opinion it's a historical place because I could recognize some names that gave influent for Indonesia history and for me it also a gallery because each tombstone carved beutifully, some has a tower shape and the others angel shape. Good place.

Lots of old thombstones from the VOC era. Guide took the time to explain everything in detail. When in the neighbourhood worth a visit.

You really need a good guide when visiting this place. So many thombstone with their unique stories about the life (and the deaths) of people in Jakarta since 18th century.
