The hypothesis of the Earth in the solar system.
Regional tectonic fabric forming Indonesia geology; embodies in the form of mock-models of the movement of these plates on the earth's crust.
Sumatran geological circumstances, Java, Sulawesi, Maluku and East South East Nusa and Irian Jaya.
In addition to models and information panels, each chamber in this room also exhibits various types of rocks (frozen, sedimentary, metamorphic) and mineral resources that exist in every region. Rocks and minerals occupy the booth to the west, which exhibits various types of rocks, minerals and chrystallography arrangement in the form of panels and the original exhibit. Still in the same room, showcased Indonesia's geological research activities including the types of equipment / equipment field, mapping and research facilities as well as the final result of activities such as map (geology, geophysics, volcano, geomorphology, seismotectonic and everything) and publications as Indonesia geological data and information. Western tip of wing space is the space into the Holy Mountain fire, which demonstrates the state several active volcanoes in Indonesia such as: Tangkuban Boat, Krakatoa, Galunggung, Merapi and Stone. In addition to information panels room is equipped with a model of a complex volcano-Bromo-Semeru Kelut. Some examples of volcanic rocks of the activities are arranged in glass cabinets.
East Wing room
The room is a portrait of the history of growth and development of living things, from primitive to modern, who inhabit this planet is known as the living history of life.


Image panels that adorn the walls of the room begins with information about the state of the earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago, where most living things primitive not been found. A few billion years later, when the ground was calm, the environment supports the development of several types of single-celled plants, whose existence is recorded in fossil form.
Reptiles reinforced-sized rear living master until Late Middle Period of the Mesozoic (210-65 million years ago) demonstrated in the form of fossil replica of Tyrannosaurus Rex Osborn (savage meat-eating lizard type) which extends for 19 m, height 6.5 m and weight 8 ton. Early life in the earth that began about 3 billion years ago then developed and evolved until now. Traces the evolution of mammals that live in the Tertiary era (6.5 to 1.7 million years ago) and Quaternary (1.7 million years ago until now) in Indonesia recorded either through mammal fossils (elephant, rhino, buffalo, horses nil) and the hominids found in a layer of soil in some places, especially in Java. Collection of fossils-ancient human skull found in Indonesia (Homo erectus P. VIII) and in several other places in the world collected in the form of a replica. Used similarly artifact, which characterized the development of ancient cultures, from anytime.

Klenteng Sam Po Kong

Sam Po Kong temple besides being a place of worship and pilgrimage is also an attractive tourist place to visit. This place is also known as Stone Gedong. Some say this name is used as the origin of this place is a large rock cave located on a rock hill. But there are some people who say that the actual origin of the correct word is Kedong Stone, aka pile of natural stones that are used to stem the flow of the river.

Sam Po Kong temple complex consists of a number of pavilions and caves of the Great Pagoda Sam Po Kong, Tho Pagoda Tee Kong, and four places of worship (Interpreters Kyai Mudi, Kayai Anchors, Earth and Mbah Kyai Cundrik Kyai Tumpeng). Large and cave pagoda is the most important buildings and is central to all activities of worship. The cave, which has springs that never dry is believed to be petilasan who once occupied Djien Sam Po Tay (Zheng He)

Building form is a single building roofed pagoda stacking. In contrast to other types of pagoda, pagoda does not have a separate gallery. In the middle there is Sam Po worship space.

According to the story, at the beginning of the 15th century Admiral Zheng He was having a cruise along the sea coast of Java and came to a peninsula. Because there is a sick crew, he ordered landed along a river that is now known as the Kaligarang river. He landed in a village named Simongan. Following up on land, he found a cave of stone and used to meditate and worship places. Zeng He decided to stay for a while the place is.While the crew is ill treated and given medication from herb leaves that exist around the place.

After hundreds of years later, in October 1724 a ceremony was held at the same time large-scale construction of the temple as an expression of gratitude to Sam Po Tay Djien.Twenty years earlier it was reported that the cave is believed to be a place of meditation, Sam Po collapse struck by lightning. Not long after the cave was rebuilt and placed inside the statue of Sam Po with four of his men brought in from China. At the celebration in 1724 has been added to the building overhang at the front of the cave.

The annual celebration of the landing anniversary of Zheng He is one of the main agenda in the city of Semarang. The celebration begins with a religious ceremony in the temple of Tay Kak Sie, in Gang Lombok. After that then followed by a procession of the statue of Sam Po Kong temple at Tay Kak Sie to Gedong Stone. The statue is then placed alongside the statue of Sam Po Kong native in Gedong Stone.

This unique tradition started since the second half of the 19th century. At that time, Simongan area controlled by a greedy landlord. The people who want to visit the temple of Sam Po Kong are required to pay a sum of money that cost so much. Since most pilgrims are unable to pay, then transferred to the cult activities of Tay Kak Sie temple. A replica of the statue of Sam Po Kong is then created and placed in the Tay Kak Sie temple. Each of 29 or 30 months according to the sixth Chinese Lunar Calendar, the statue is a duplicate of Tay Kak Sie paraded to the Batu Gedong intended to be a replica statue of the blessed of the original statue inside the temple Gedong Stone.

In 1879 or the fifth year of Guang Xu, the area was purchased by Oei Tjie Simongan Sien.Oei Tjie Sien was the father of Oei Tiong Ham, donors are also known as Raja Gula Indonesian. Since then, the pilgrims can pray at the shrine Gedong Stone free of any cost and management of temple affairs submitted to the local Sam Po Kong Foundation. Sam Po Kong pageant was revived in 1937 and continues to be an attraction until now.
