The Sonobudoyo Museum (Javanese: ꦩꦸꦱꦶꦪꦸꦩ꧀ꦱꦤꦧꦸꦢꦪ, romanized: Musiyum Sanabudaya) is a Javanese history and culture museum and library in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The museum contains the most complete collection of Javanese artifacts, after the National Museum in Jakarta. In addition to ceramics of the

Neolithic era and bronze sculptures from the 8th century, the museum also includes collections of wayang (shadow puppets), various ancient weapons (such as keris), and Javanese masks. The Sonobudoyo Museum consists of two units, with Unit I located at Jalan Trikora No. 6 Yogyakarta, and Unit II located at Ndalem Condrokiranan, Wijilan, to the east of main (northern) alun-alun in the city. The museum also features nightly wayang and gamelan performances on weekdays, primarily for foreign and domestic tourists.
