Fatahillah Museum holds fun bike, night tour

JAKARTA: The Jakarta History Museum, better known as
Fatahillah Museum, will host a bicycle tour around the historical
area of Batavia on July 13 and an evening tour of the museum on
July 27.

Head of the museum Tinia Budiarti told a press conference on
Tuesday that the Tour de Kasteel Batavia Fun Bike will start from
Fatahillah Square, West Jakarta, at 6:30 a.m. and will also
finish at the square.

During the nearly six-hour tour, participants will visit
several historical sites near the square, including four museums.

The registration fees for the bicycle tour are Rp 10,000 for
general participants and Rp 5,000 for students. A total of Rp
3.25 million in prize money will be at stake.

The evening tour offers a different approach in visiting the
museum. A group of 50 visitors will be guided by a prominent
historian, who will tell the dark tale of the nearly 300-year-old
building that houses the museum and the legend surrounding it.

The registration fee for the night tour is Rp 50,000.

For more information and registration, please contact the
museum by telephone on 692 9101 or Inanti at 848 4544, or e-mail
