You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.219.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 20:45, 23 August 2024. Your current IP address is 3.219.218.35.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The museum was formerly a cemetery, built by the Dutch colonial government in 1795 as a final resting place for noble [[Dutchmen]].

The European cemetery ''Kerkhof Laan'' in Tanah Abang with the monument of the priest Van der Grinten in 1881–1889]]
The cemetery area is the oldest of its kind in Jakarta and may have been the oldest modern cemetery in the world by comparison with the [[Fort Canning Park]] (1926) in Singapore, [[Gore Hill cemetery]] (1868) in Sydney, [[Père Lachaise Cemetery]] (1803) in Paris, and [[Mount Auburn Cemetery]] (1831) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.<ref name="taman prasasti">((cite book|author=Nirwono Joga|title=Museum Taman Prasasti – Metamorfosis Kerkhoflaan Menjadi Museum|year=2005))</ref>

==History==
The cemetery was officially opened on September 28, 1797, although people had been buried here as early as 1795. The cemetery was known as ''Kebon Jahe Kober'' (recorded under this name since December 14, 1798). It was located in Kerkhoflaan and has a total area of 5.9 ha. The cemetery was built to accommodate the increasing number of death that was caused by an outbreak of disease in Batavia. Because of this outbreak, the cemetery area of the New Dutch Church (Dutch ''Nieuwe Hollandsche Kerk'', now the [[Wayang Museum]]), Binnenkerk (an inner city Portuguese Church), and [[Gereja Sion|Sion Church]] (an outer city Portuguese Church) was full. Because of this, some of the gravestones from these cemeteries were transferred into ''Keboh Jahe Kober'' cemetery.<ref name="Jakartapost">((cite web|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2008/09/10/dutch-cemetery-rich-with-jakarta-history.html|title=Dutch cemetery rich with Jakarta history|work=Matheos Viktor Messakh|publisher=The Jakarta Post, Jakarta|access-date=2010-01-23))</ref>

Kebon Jahe Kober cemetery is located close to the river Kali Krukut. This river was once used as a transportation mode for carrying the dead to the cemetery via boat.

After Indonesia's declaration of independence, the park was used as a Christian cemetery. Within the first two years it was managed by the Verberg Foundation and for the next twenty years it was handled by the Palang Hitam Foundation.<ref name="Jakartapost" />

From 1967 to 1975 the cemetery was managed by the Jakarta burials agency. In 1975, the cemetery was closed to make way for the construction of the [[Central Jakarta]] mayoralty office. At a request from the local government, some corpses were removed by relatives while others were taken to [[Tanah Kusir]] cemetery in [[South Jakarta]]. Many tombstones, sculptures and statues were removed and damaged during the construction of the office and now only 32 tombstones remain in their original positions. The size of the cemetery is also reduced from the original 5.9 hectare plot to 1.3 hectares. Only 1,372 of about 4,200 stones were selected to be kept in the cemetery.<ref name="Jakartapost" />

The cemetery was officially inaugurated as Taman Prasasti Museum on July 9, 1977 by [[Ali Sadikin]], former governor of Jakarta.

Since 2003, the museum is administered by the [[Jakarta History Museum]] management.

==Collection==
[[Image:tombstones taman prasasti.jpg|thumbnail|left|The tombstones of Taman Prasasti Museum.]]
The main collection of the museum is the Dutch gravestones, some of these came from the former ''Nieuwe Hollandsche Kerk'' (the location of which is now the [[Wayang Museum]] in [[Jakarta Old Town]]). These gravestones are marked with the inscription "HK" or "Hollandsche Kerk". The oldest gravestones is from the 17th century up to the end of 18th century. The style of the gravestones range from Javanese-Hindu style, [[neogothic]], and classical. The gravestones are arranged on a park-like setting.

Other collection of this museum are ancient inscription stones, miniature of different gravestones from various [[Indonesian provinces|provinces of Indonesia]], a replica of a 17th-century [[hearse]], and the original coffins for [[Sukarno]] and [[Mohammad Hatta]], the first president and vice president of Indonesia.

The doric-style main building in front of the cemetery is built in 1874. The building contains two wings to the left and to the right of the main building, each is used to entomb remains of males and females.<ref name="leaflet">((cite book|title=Taman Prasasti Museum Leaflet|publisher=Museum Sejarah Jakarta))</ref>
