The Basoeki Abdullah Museum in South Jakarta was where the Indonesian maestro painter was murdered on Nov. 5, 1993.
Before opening its door to the public in 2001, the museum was Basoeki’s private house where the 78-year-old fell victim to a burglar who happened to be his gardener. The painter was beaten to death when he tried to stop his employee from stealing a collection of expensive watches.
The watches and a blood-stained pajama and glasses that the renowned artist was wearing at the time of the tragedy are on display in the museum, which is home to 720 paintings and 123 works of art he had collected throughout his life.
