Bandung Geology Museum

The museum was founded on May 16, 1928. The museum was renovated with funding assistance from JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency). Geology Museum is located at Jalan Diponegoro, not far from Gedung Sate. From here to get some information related to the problem kegeologian. Among the objects into the collection is the first human skull fossil in the world, the fossils of prehistoric animal skeleton, weighing 156 kg meteorite that fell on March 30, 1884 at Jatipelangon, Madison. As a historic monument, this museum is considered a national heritage and are under government protection. This museum store and manage an abundance of geological materials, such as fossils, rocks, minerals, gathered during fieldwork in Indonesia since 1850.

BRIEF GEOLOGY MUSEUM BANDUNGGeological Museum was originally to function as laboratories and storage of geological and mining results from different parts of Indonesia and then expand again not only as a means of research but also function as a means of education, a provider of various information about earth science and tourism objects.
The shift function of museums in tune with advances in technology are making geological museum as:

    
* Place of education outside of school are related to the earth and its preservation efforts.
    
* The person doing the pre-assessment prior to field research. Where is the Museum of Geology as a center for earth science information that describes the state of the earth's geological Indonesia in the form of a collection of visual aids.
    
* Object geowisata interesting.
Museum of Geology is divided into several showrooms occupying first and second floors.
First FloorDivided into 3 main rooms: Space orientation in the middle, Room West Wing and East Wing Room.
Space OrientationContains a geographical map of Indonesia in the form of relief the big screen that shows the geology and museum activities in the form of animation, the museum's booth and booth information services education services and research.
West Wing RoomKnown as the Space Geology of Indonesia, which consists of several chambers which provide information about:

* The hypothesis of the Earth in the solar system.
    
* Order to form a regional tectonic geology of Indonesia; diujudkan in the form of miniature model skin movement of earth plates active.
    
* Sumatran geological situation, Java, Sulawesi, Maluku and Nusa Tenggara and Irian Jaya.
 


In addition to models and information panels, each room in this room also showcase a variety of rock types (frozen, sedimentary, metamorphic) and mineral resources that exist in every daerah.Dunia rocks and minerals occupy booths on the western side, which exhibit diverse types of rocks, minerals and kristalografinya composition in the form of panels and the original display. Still in the same room, was exhibited Indonesia's geological research activities including the types of equipment / field equipment, means of mapping and research, and the finish of such a map (geolologi, geophysics, volcano, geomorphology, seismotectonic and everything) and publications as pemasyarakan means Indonesia's geological data and information. The tip of the west wing is the living room fireplace Mount, which demonstrate the state several active volcanoes in Indonesia such as: Tangkuban Perahu, Krakatoa, Galunggung, Merapi and Stone. In addition to the information panels of this room is equipped with a model of complex-Kelut volcano Bromo-Semeru. Some examples of rock volcanic activities are arranged in glass cabinets.
 


East Wing RoomThe room is a portrait of the history of growth and development of living things, from primitive to modern, who inhabit this planet is known as the living history of life.
Image panels that adorn the walls of the room begins with information about the state of the earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago, where most primitifpun living things have not been found. Several billion years later, when the ground was calm, the environment supports the development of several types of single-celled plants, which recorded the presence in the fossil.Reptiles behind large-boned a living master the Middle Mesozoic to Late Period (210-65 million years ago) diperagan in the form of fossil replica Tyrannosaurus Rex Osborn (Type ferocious carnivorous lizard), which length is 19 m, height 6.5 m and weight 8 ton.Kehidupan early in the earth that began about 3 billion years ago then developed and evolved until now. Traces the evolution of mammals that lived in the Tertiary era (6.5 to 1.7 million years ago) and Quaternary (1.7 million years ago until now) in Indonesia recorded either through the fossils of mammals (elephant, rhino, buffalo, horses nil) and hominids are found in the soil layer in some places, especially in Java. Collection of ancient human skull fossil found in Indonesia (Homo erectus P. VIII) and in several other places in the world collected in the form of replica. Similarly dipergunkan artifacts, which characterize the development of ancient cultures, from time to Quaternary sedimentary stratigraphy waktu.Penampang Sangira area, Sandpipers and Mojokerto (East Java), which is very significant in the dissemination of history and ancient human evolution is demonstrated in the form of panels and models. The history of the formation of the legendary Lake of Bandung displayed in the form of panels in the room. Fossil snakes and fish that are found in soil layers former Lake of Bandung and was exhibited in the form of original artifacts. Artifacts collected from several places on the outskirts of Lake Bandung indicate that around 6000 years ago the lake was inhabited by humans prasejarah.Informasi full of fossils and remains of past life is placed in a separate chamber in Space History of Life. Information submitted by them is the process of formation of fossil fuels, including coal and petroleum, in addition to the environmental circumstances-ancient.
 


Second FloorDivided into 3 main rooms: the west room, living room and a room east
 


West spaceused by museum staff.While the space center and the east room on the second floor that is used to display known as a geological space for human life.

 

Living RoomContains a model of the world's largest gold mining, which is located in the Middle Mountains of Irian Jaya. Gransberg open pit which has reserves of about 1.186 billion tons, with copper content of 1.02%, 1.19 grams gold / ton and silver 3 grams / ton. Combined several open pit and underground mines active in the surrounding areas provide ore reserves of 2.5 billion tons. Former Ertsberg Mine (Ore Mountains) in the southeast of the Grasberg which closed in 1988 is a geological and mining sites that can be exploited and developed into an attractive object geowisata. Some rock specimens from Irian Jaya (Papua) and terpamer arranged in glass cabinets around the models. Miniature tower of oil and gas drilling are also exhibited here.
 

East RoomDivided into 7 small rooms, all of which provide information about positive and negative aspects of geology tataan for human life, especially in Indonesia.

    
* Room 1 presents information about the benefits and usefulness of mineral or stone for humans, as well as drawing panel mineral resource distribution in Indonesia.
    
* Room 2 features a recording of the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources.
    
* Room 3 contains information about the use of minerals in everyday life, both traditional and modern.
    
* Room 4 shows how the processing and management of mineral and energy commodities.
    
* Room 5 presents information on various types of geological hazards (negative aspects) such as land longksor, letusas volcano and so forth.
    
* Room 6 presents information about the positive aspects of geology deals primarily with symptoms of Mount fireplace.
    
* Room 7 explains about water resources and their utilization, as well as environmental influences to the preservation of these resources.
