We were exploring the Museum Nasional or we might call it NationalMuseum in English. It was not the Museum Gajah as everyone would always say. Yup, there is a small elephant statue in front of the museum. It was a gift from a Thailand king long time ago, and so many people called it Museum Gajah (elephant).
2A and 2B went to the NationalMuseum on Tuesday, October 21, 2008. We were exploring the evidence of our place and the people that lives before us. We studied about pre-history men or it was called manusia pra-sejarah. How it changed over time and became modern like us now.
The favorite place would be the ‘Gold’ room, where they kept all the gold jewelry from many places in Indonesia. We also saw many types of house and transportation back at the old days of the Indonesian history. The guide of the museum even teaches us how the old people did their prayer to call the rain. We must make music from a big and heavy drum called ‘nekara’.
Wow…it was surely very different back then. How people and live surrounding has changed very much, how we could learn so much from the history that made us like now. We don’t have to live in the cave and not wearing anything to cover our body J(dw/21/10/08)
nusia pra-sejarah. How it changed over time and became modern like us now.
