A Living Chronicle of Jakarta’s Past
House of Tugu Old Town Jakarta is the result of a 15-year journey to preserve and share the stories of the Tugu family’s ancestors. Spanning generations and reaching back to the mid-19th century, these narratives are woven into a remarkable collection of artefacts—each piece a testament to history, memory, and cultural legacy.
