Gamelan

Kresna Hotel, Wonosobo

The hotel is justly proud of this attractive and pleasing gamelan set. The sign, at photo right, reads: "Gamelan Kyai Mega Mendung, Abad-18." This is a bit mysterious, since the actual 18th century Kyai Mega Mendung Gamelan is kept in the Sono Budoyo Museum in Yogyakarta. Perhaps the sign means this gamelan is a copy of, or modeled upon, the museum original.
