On the north side of the alun-alun this museum is dedicated to one of Indonesia’s most celebrated women. One room is devoted to Kartini and contains portraits of her and her family, plus memorabilia. Other rooms contain assorted archaeological findings, including a yoni and lingam, and local art and artefacts, such as fine woodcarvings and ceramics. There’s also a 16m skeleton of whale. It is sometimes possible to visit Kartini’s old rooms, if you contact the tourist office.
