The Multatuli Museum (Indonesian: Museum Multatuli) is a museum located in Rangkasbitung, Banten, Indonesia.[1][2] Its focus is the author Multatuli (Eduard Douwes Dekker), who lived in the area in the 1850s and used it as the basis for his famous anti-colonial novel Max Havelaar. The museum also examines Dutch East Indies colonial history, the anti-colonial movement, and the local history of Rangkasbitung.[3] There is another Multatuli Museum in Amsterdam which houses many of the author's papers.
