Nearly four hours' drive, we came to Bandung. Bandung used to call "Brian", meaning "the kingdom of immortals", and now the name means "mountain-lianshan". It is the third largest city in the capital of West Java, Indonesia (after Jakarta and Surabaya), with a population of more than 1.2 million, located in the Bandung Basin, 715 meters above sea level, in the western Indonesian island of Java, surrounded by peaks, lush plants, beautiful environment, cool climate, fresh air, and temperatures similar to Bogor. Bandung is beautiful, quiet and elegant, and the seasons are like spring. It is known as the most beautiful city in Indonesia and is known as "Paris in Java".

Capture your happy moments. Don't forget to apply health protocols. As much as possible, install applications that care about protection.

Pendirian Museum Geologi merupakan inisiatif dari Dienst van den Mijnbouw atau Dinas Pertambangan pada masa Hindia Belanda.Saat itu, dinas tersebut menginginkan ada satu tempat yang digunakan untuk menyimpan hasil penyelidikan tambang yang dilakukan.Pada 23 April 1927, dimulailah pembangunan gedung museum yang diarsiteki oleh Ir Menalda van Schouwenburg.
Museum Geologi (Musieum Géologi Bandung) didirikan pada tanggal 16 Mei 1929. Museum ini telah direnovasi dengan dana bantuan dari JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency). Setelah mengalami renovasi, Museum Geologi dibuka kembali dan diresmikan oleh Wakil Presiden RI, Megawati Soekarnoputri pada tanggal 23 Agustus 2000. Sebagai monumen bersejarah, museum berada di bawah perlindungan pemerintah dan merupakan peninggalan nasional. Di museum ini, tersimpan dan mengelola banyak materi geologi, seperti fosil, batuan, dan mineral. Semua materi tersebut dikumpulkan selama kerja lapangan di Indonesia sejak tahun 1850.
