The objets d'art featured include the most important elements of the collection of the National Museum of Indonesia. The artefacts have special significance as venerated objects which are handed down from generation to generation, and are known by the Indonesian word pusaka. Among the people of central Java, pusaka are invested with the power to protect, heal, avenge and even to confer the right to rule.
