On May 20, 2011 Kiki, Adira, Eka and me visited the National Museum to find information for the third task. The National Museum is located in central Jakarta and West precisely at Jalan Merdeka 12. In there I met Naad, Akla, Kayrana,Cintya, Raras, Michelle, Hannah, Adis, we should buy a ticket before entering into a museum for Rp 2000. Initially I thought the price of admission is only Rp 500 likes many years ago when I came there. The first place we visited was the sculpture section. I will explain about the statue of Brahma after this. But unfortunately only about 10 minutes, the museum lights was off. Then, the guard led us into a new building that used generator so that electricity stays on. In the new building is more modern and legacy neatly arranged than in the old building. Not surprisingly, a stranger to the museum would prefer to see in the new building. Then, I found the inscription talang tuo I will discuss as well. Although the place a bit behind but I liked the simple shape and lighting who is in the stone. Then when we're done looking for an information, me and my friends met Olaf, Andry, Okti, Ifan, Yoga, and Heza. A lot of people in my class
visited the museum on that day.
The history of
National Museum
On April 24, 1778, a group of Dutch intellectuals
established a scientific institution under the name Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten
en Wetenschappen, (Royal
Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences). This private body had the
aim of promoting research in the field of arts and sciences, especially in
history, archaeology, ethnography and physics,
and publish the various findings.
One of the founders – JCM
Radermacher – donated
a building and a collection of cultural objects and books, which were of great
value to start off a museum and library for the society.[3] Due to
the growing collections, General Sir Thomas
Stamford Raffles built
a new premises on Jalan Majapahit No. 3 at the beginning of the 19th century
and named it the Literary Society. In the 1862 the Dutch East Indies government
decided to build a new museum that would not only serve as an office but also
could be used to house, preserve and display the collections.
The Museum was officially opened in 1868 and
popularly known as Gedung
Gajah (Elephant Building) or
sometimes called Gedung Arca (The house of Statues). It was called Gedung Gajah on account of the bronze elephant
statue in the front yard – a gift to Batavia from KingChulalongkorn of
Siam in 1871. It was also called Gedung
Arca because a great variety
of statues from different periods are on display in the house.
In 1931, the museum's collections were
shown in a world cultural exhibition in Paris. Unfortunately, a fire in the
exhibition hall demolished the Dutch East Indies' exhibition pavilion and
destroyed most of the objects. The museum received some insurance money as
compensation and the following year these funds were used to build the old
ceramics room, the bronze room, and both treasure rooms on the second floor.
On February 29, 1950 the institution
became the Lembaga Kebudayaan
Indonesia (Indonesian Culture
Council). On September 17, 1962 it was handed over to the Indonesian government
and became known as Museum
Pusat (Central Museum). By
decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 092/0/1979 May 28, 1979 it
was renamed the Museum Nasional.
In 2007, a new building to the north
side of existing building was opened, featuring many artifacts from prehistoric
times to modern times. This new building, called Gedung Arca (Statue Building), provides a new
exhibition wing. The old building is named as Gedung
Gajah (Elephant Building)
Inscription of talang tuwo
Talang Tuwo
inscription was discovered by Louis Constant Westenenk (Resident of Palembang)
on 17 November
1920 at the foot of Mount Gandus Seguntang in the village, and relics known as
the Kingdom of Srivijaya.
Physical condition is still good with a flat, inscribed with measuring 50cm x 80 cm.This inscription dates to the year 606 Saka (23 March 684 AD), written in script Pallawa, Old Malay language, and consists of 14 lines. located approximately 6 km from Kedukan Hill, South Sumatra, Indonesia. The first scholar who had read and mengalihaksarakan tablets was Ronkel and Bosch van, which was published in Acta Orientalia. Since 1920 an inscription was recorded in the National Museum of Indonesia, Jakarta, with a number D.145.
Sriwijaya kingdom has expanded his territory to the southeast. After that, the King of Srivijaya was no longer focused on the battle for the expansion of the kingdom, but rather concentrate their efforts on the country prosper. For example, the king built a park that is named Sriksetra, and also a monastery. The contents and translation are the following inscription, as translated by Cœdès:
"On March 23, 684 AD, that's when the park is called Śrīksetra made under the leadership of His Majesty Sri Jayanāśa. This is the intention of the king: Hope is planted here, coconut trees, areca nut, palm, sago, and a variety of trees, the fruit can be eaten, as well as bamboo Haur, waluh, and pattum, and so on, and hopefully also other crops with dams and swimming-pool, and all the charities that I give, can be used for the good of all beings, who can move where and what not, and for them to be the best way to get happiness. If they are hungry time to rest or in transit, may they find food and drinking water. May all their garden open to excess (harvest).Hopefully suburlah various types of livestock that they maintain, as well as their own slaves. Hopefully they are not exposed to catastrophe, not tortured because he could not sleep. "
"Whatever they do, hopefully all the planets and constellations in their favor, and may they be protected from disease and aging during the running of their businesses. And also hopefully all their servants and faithful in their worship, after all, I hope their friends do not betray them and hopefully their wives for his faithful wife. Moreover, wherever they are, hopefully in that place there are no thieves, or people who use violence, or killers, or penzinah. In addition, they may have a friend as a good adviser; may in themselves born Bodhi mind and friendship (...) of the Three Ratna, and hopefully they are not separate from the Three Ratna it. And also hopefully continue (their attitude) gracious, obedient to the rules, and the patient may in themselves rising energy, crafts, knowledge of all different kinds of art; hopefully their spirit-centered, they have the knowledge, memory, intelligence. Anyway I hope they were firm opinion, like the diamond-bodied mahāsattwa incomparable strength, triumphant, and also remember the lives they were previously, berindra complete, full shape, happy, calm, pleasant voice, the voice of Brahma. May they be born as a man, and thanks to their own existence; may they be container Magic Stone, have power over births, power of karma, the power over the stain, and hopefully eventually they get longer perfect Illumination great. "
Can be concluded that the contents of the inscription is about Srivijaya kingdom reign. In the year 684 AD the kingdom of Srivijaya has expanded his territory to the southeast. After that, the king Sriwijaya no longer focus on the battle for the expansion of the kingdom, but rather concentrate their efforts on the country prosper.For example, the king built a park that is named Srikerta, and also a monastery.Additionally it contains a message from the king, the inscription also contains prayers for the happiness of the king Sriwijaya dedication and happiness of all beings.
Unlike the translation of the contents of the inscription under the talang tuwo inscription in the national museum, it is about building a garden Sriksetra Punta Hyang behest of Sri Jayanasa for the prosperity of all beings. There are also prayers and hopes that clearly indicates the nature of Buddhism. Literacy and language Malay Pallawa Kuna.

This shows the influence of India much absorbed and greatly contributed to the addition of Malay vocabulary.Ditemuakannya tuo chamfer inscription proves that the influence of the ancient Malay language is not only growing in Sumatra but also in Java. The influence of the words in the inscription of talang tuwo using the prefix in-and-noodles. by Aichele, use of the prefix in-is a hallmark of the dialect of Java.
