SEMARANG - The Old City Museum of Semarang, Central Java, which was built with a budget of Rp. 3.9 billion, has officially opened.

The opening of the museum containing the history of the City of Semarang was marked by the inauguration by the Mayor of Semarang Hendrar Prihadi in Semarang, Wednesday, February 9.

"It's finished, the public can come," he said, quoted by Antara.

According to him, the public will be able to enjoy the history of the city of Semarang since 1547 from the collections displayed.

In addition, he said, there is also a visualization of the history of trams in the city of Semarang.

"This museum describes the history of the ancient city of Semarang," he said.

According to Hendi, the public can visit this museum for free while still implementing strict health protocols.

"It's just a matter of regulating the mechanism. It needs regulation to prevent crowding," he said.

In the early stages, said the Mayor of Semarang, visits to the museum are still free of charge while waiting for future evaluations.

The Kota Lama Museum itself is located in a location that was once the fountain of the Bubakan Semarang Roundabout.

The traffic flow and the area around the museum have been reorganized along with the existence of a museum that combines technological sophistication and a collection of ancient objects.
