Which date, Cedric?
Unfortunately, this 21st-28th of March next week I would be out of Jakarta, to Basel, Barcelona and ... en France.
But I would suggest you -- as I suggest to everyone who spends a couple of days in Jakarta -- to visit The National Museum of Jakarta (Museum Nasional) at Jalan (street) Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta. Just take a ride by taxi from your hotel to the Museum, easy to find.

There are quite a lot of thing to see, not only on kerises. But also, many kinds of precious collections of this 17th century Museum. In this location, there are two important places (1) the old museum, and (2) the new museum just beside the old one...

In the old museum, please visit the 2nd floor, to the "Khasanah Emas" (gold treasury), and you will see quite a lot of Indonesian (Nusantara) kerises of the past. From Sabang in the west part, to Merauke in the very east part of this archipelago.

In the new museum, please visit the 4th floor -- the "Khasanah Emas" too. You will see some precious and exotic collections of kerises and tombaks in a more convenient place than the old one...

There is another museum to see, Museum Pusaka (Keris) -- at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah in Eastern Jakarta. But not as good as the National Museum...

Bon voyage, mon ami...
