This media file captures an indoor museum exhibit, likely located in Mataram, Indonesia. The scene displays historical artifacts and illustrative murals behind glass display cases. In the foreground, two display cases showcase historical weapons on grey pedestals. The left case contains two ornate *keris* (traditional Indonesian daggers) with wavy blades and carved handles. The right case holds a sword with a brass-colored hilt and its matching scabbard. Behind these, a long, dark, cylindrical object, possibly a cannon or large spear, rests on a stand. The background features large historical murals. The left mural is a colorful depiction of a dynamic battle scene, showing figures in traditional attire engaged in conflict, possibly against colonial forces, with a bright light source suggesting fire or an explosion. The right mural is a black and white photograph-like image, showing a group of uniformed soldiers (likely Dutch colonial troops) alongside what appear to be local leaders or officials, suggesting a formal event, possibly a surrender or negotiation. Visible text on a dark plaque in the background reads: "Lombok - Serahkan Ratu Agoeng, AgoengG'de Ngoerah Karang Asem, ke Belanda 1894-1895." This inscription details the surrender of Queen AgoengG'de Ngoerah of Karang Asem to the Dutch between 1894 and 1895, placing the exhibit within the context of the Lombok War. Partially visible text also includes "tan serangan" and "ombok tab," likely fragments of larger Indonesian phrases related to attacks or Lombok history. An orange paper with fine print, presumably an information plaque, lies within the left display case. The exhibit commemorates significant historical events in Indonesia's colonial past.
