Pakualaman Kraton

Yogyakarta


This small museum includes a pendopo (large, open-sided pavilion) that can hold a full gamelan orchestra. One of the main attractions here is the pretty little colonial house, built in 1884, that looks oddly misplaced within the inner courtyard.

The house is closed to the public.
