Stake attention in this memory
The image shows a close-up view of a metal plaque embedded in a sidewalk, with two people's feet and legs visible at the bottom. The plaque is inscribed with text in both Indonesian and English, detailing the history of the Jakarta Historical Museum. The Indonesian text states that the museum, built in 1770, was known as the VOC museum in 1974 and was previously the Balai Kota (City Hall) built on January 23, 1707. The English text corroborates this, mentioning that the place has been known as the VOC's City Hall and this historical building's construction was finished by Governor General Abraham van Riebeeck on July 19th, 1770, during the time of Governor Jan van Hoorn. It also mentions the building was reconstructed by the Chinese from Amsterdam, years earlier. The plaque is located in West Jakarta, Indonesia, specifically at the site of the Jakarta Historical Museum. The sidewalk is made of grey interlocking tiles, and some green vegetation is visible in the cracks. The lighting suggests it is daytime.
