History

The building where the National Press Monument was built was built around 1918 on the orders of Mangkunegara VII, Pangeran Surakarta, as a meeting hall and meeting room. This building was formerly named "Societeit Sasana Soeka" and was designed by Mas Abu Kasan Atmodirono.In 1933, Sarsito Mangunkusumo and a number of other engineers met in this building and pioneered Solosche Radio Vereeniging, the first public radio operated by indigenous Indonesians. Thirteen years later, on February 9, 1946, the Indonesian Journalists Association (PWI) was formed in this building. During the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, this building was used as an army care clinic, later becoming the office of the Indonesian Red Cross during the Indonesian National 

Revolution.

February 9, 1956, at the PWI ten-year celebration, renowned journalists such as Rosihan Anwar, B.M. Diah, and S. Tahsin suggested the establishment of a foundation that would house the National Press Museum. The foundation was inaugurated on May 22, 1956 and most of the museum collections were donated by Soedarjo Tjokrosisworo. Only fifteen years later the foundation planned to establish a physical museum. This plan was officially announced by Information Minister Budiarjo on February 9, 1971. The name "National Press Monument" was set in 1973 and the land was donated to the government in 1977. The museum was officially opened on February 9, 1978 after being equipped with several buildings. In his speech, President Soehart warned the press of the danger of freedom. He stated, "enjoying freedom for freedom itself is a feature we cannot afford".

In 2012, the museum was headed by Sujatmiko. This museum is now used as an educational tourist spot and accepts material contributions related to the press in Indonesia. According to David Kristian Budhiyanto from Petra Christian University, this museum is rarely visited and some rooms are not maintained.
