The gallery documents the facade (2015), a skeleton display (2025) and azurite (2018). The photographs do not guarantee the current exhibition layout. The azurite label in the photograph identifies its origin as Morocco.

Why it matters

Bandung has a story much older than its streets and buildings. At Museum Geologi, rocks, minerals and fossils help trace that story, including an exhibition about the ancient Bandung lake. Take time to read the labels and follow the connections between changes in the Earth and the life it once supported.

The white Art Deco building, inaugurated on 16 May 1929, adds another layer of history to a visit. Beyond the facade, explore galleries on the history of life and Indonesian geology. It is a worthwhile stop for visitors who want to make learning part of a day out in Bandung, whether travelling alone or with family.
