On 4 January 2013, I went to Istana Bogor. Istana Bogor is one of the presidential palaces in Indonesia. It is located in the Bogor Botanical Garden. It was built on August 1744 when the Dutch ruled Indonesia. It is mainly used as a retreat place for Dutch Governor. Now, it is rarely used by the President.
Istana Bogor has total area of 1.5 Hectare. The Building has 3 section, Center Building, Left Wing, and Side Wing. The center building used for formal goverment meeting and ceremony. The left wing has 6 bedroom.
The first location we going is the film room. It located at the right of the building. There we can see a movie room. There are a old proyector that placed inside the building. President Soekarno usually watch movies when he visited Istana Bogor with his colleague. In the left side of movie room, there is a minister meeting room. In the right side, there is a working room for President. In the work room, there are 2 paintings that is a national treasure for Uni Soviet (now it becomes Russia). That shows that the relationship between Jakarta and Moscow is very close. In the movie room, there also a painting from Basuki Abdullah, a famous artist in Indonesia.
Next, we going to the main room, the center building. There is a guest room to receive the diplomat from another country. The room was called "Lotus Room". This is the place where the other country President going. Next, there is a room that connecting the Lotus Room with the Main Room. This room is the center of Istana Bogor. The room also the "zero-kilometer point" of Bogor. If we go straight to the north from this building, we will arrive in the Presidential Palace in Jakarta. This room also famous for its treasure, "Cermin Seribu (a thousand mirror)." If we see to one of the mirror we can see many of our shadows, because the reflection. The main room is used for the meeting with other country's president.
Istana Bogor has many artifacts and art painting. There is a statue from the quarter of Moskow. The statue is originally sent from Moskow. Also, there is a woman statue named "Denok". The statue is made from a model that is from people around the palace. There are many other statues and paintings in the palace. Soekarno is an art lover. So, it looks like the palace also can be called as a art museum.
