Manado Cemetry Museum


Manado Cemetry Museum

It was little surprising for me to see or may be I am wrong that the museum aftifacts still existed in this little unknown museum.

Notoriously, most museums have lost their original artifacts to European museums with the height of loot being, when a complete museum in Jogja was sold out by the curators themselves to European buyers and the artifacts were replaced with copies.

This little museum at the outskirts of Monado city houses the grave yard from 15th century and beyond. But there are some artifacts, which could have been interesting for any collector.


Sirca 12th Century.
Pottery and Jewelery of Aboriginals
Gems and Stones
Last Remains of some artifacts in this little Graveyard Museum. Before they get stolen for European Museums.

Carvings on the Special Design Tomb
The Body has gone missing from this Tomb.
In the night, they say, the Ghost Walk Around Here.
Standing Grave. Poor little Body, no peace after death!
