The best Museum I visited in Jakarta and was pretty good about having English translations of all the information. There are several 2 hour slots throughout the day. I went from 1 pm to 3 pm...

A really good history museum as well as banking. Museum was excellent, just sorry we didn't get there at 13:00 to enjoy it for the full two hours. Missed the gold bars because of it. Not too busy, but lots of visitors leaving at closing time. And price was great too!

One of the best places to learn the history of Indonesia, it teaches you how the VOC initially came to Batavia and created the very first bank system in Nusantara. The building is massive, and there's so much to see inside. You can tell that they maintain this museum very well, it looks very clean and tidy, even the dummy looks so real. I would recommend you to visit this museum.
