The Sangiran Archaeological Museum, Central Java, Indonesia
We visited Sangiran Archaeological Museum which is located within the Sangiran Dome area which is part of the Solo depression, at the foot of Mount Lawu (17 km from the city of Solo) on May 22, 2022.
The Sangiran Archaeological Museum is an archaeological museum located in Kalijambe, Sragen Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. This museum is adjacent to the Sangiran archaeological site, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Sangiran site has an area of 56 km² covering three sub-districts in Sragen (Gemolong, Kalijambe, and Plupuh) and Gondangrejo District which is part of the Karanganyar Regency.
The Sangiran Museum and its archaeological sites, apart from being an interesting tourist attraction, are also the most important and most comprehensive research arena for pre-historic life in Asia, and even the world.
At the Sangiran museum and site, complete information can be obtained about the pattern of early human life in Java which contributed to the development of science such as Anthropology, Archeology, Geology, Paleoanthropology. At the Sangiran site, for the first time, the lower jaw fossil of Homo erectus was found by a German archaeologist, Professor Von Koenigswald.
More interestingly, in the area of the Sangiran site, traces of remains from 2 million years to 200,000 years old can still be found today. Relatively intact too. So that the experts can string together a common thread of a history that has happened in Sangiran sequentially.
We are pleased to have an opportunity to visit Sangiran Museum. Sangiran Museum Complex was well preserved and well maintained, the museum itself as well as its environment. They offer tranquility for the visitor to explore the museum freely yet responsibly.
In the Sangiran Museum, we learn about the early life of various hominids, especially homo Erectus. They also display and preserve some of the discovery sites of the hominid. In addition, we also learned a glance about human evolution theory and various scientists who were involved in the excavation of the Sangiran sites from time to time.
Sangiran Museum is divided into 4 clusters, namely, Krikilan Cluster, Dayu Cluster, Bukuran Cluster, and Ngebung Cluster. These clusters function to be centered on research and comprehensive information regarding all archaeological discoveries in Sangiran.
This visiting program to Sangiran Museum is so precious for our foundation to enrich our knowledge about the prehistoric era at the same time to see how culture is applied in everyday life of a society back then and how people maintain the value of nature in their behaviors toward their fellow men as well as environmental surround nowadays.
