Holle sempat menyalinnya pada tahun 1876. Dokumen yang digambar dengan tinta di atas kain
katun itu hilang tanpa jejak. Ketika akan dipamerkan di Museum Baru Kota Jakarta sekitar tahun
1975, terpaksa dibuat sebuah kopi di atas katun putih haus berdasarkan salinan yang dibuat oleh
Holle.

This map when it was discovered by a Dutch controleur in 1858 was still stored in a small village in
south of Garut, East Pasundan, along with other heirlooms. K.F. Holle had a chance to copy it in
1876. The document drawn in ink on a cotton cloth was lost without a trace. When it will be
exhibited at the Jakarta City Museum in around 1975, a coffee must be made on thirsty white
cotton based on a copy made by Holle.
Prasasti ini diketahui keberadaannya berdasarkan laporan dari pimpinan Bataviaasch Genootschap
van Kunsten en Wetenschappen yang menemukannya di aliran Sungai Ciaruteun, Bogor pada
tahun 1863. Pada tahun 1893, letak prasasti berubah karena diterjang banjir. Hal itu membuat
prasasti terguling sehingga tulisan yang awalnya diatas menjadi terbalik posisinya dan menghadap
ke bawah. Letak prasasti diperbaiki seperti semula pada tahun 1903. Pada Bulan Juli 1981 batu
prasasti kemudian dipindahkan ke atas, ke tempatnya saat ini di Kampung Muara, Desa Ciaruteun
Hilir, Kecamatan Cibungbulang, Bogor. Usaha pemindahan ini dilakukan oleh Direktorat
Perlindungan dan Pembinaan Peninggalan Sejarah dan Purbakala, Departemen Pendidikan dan
Kebudayaan.

Prasasti Ciaruteun yang terletak di dalam Situs Ciaruteun, ±19 km sebelah barat daya dari Kota
Bogor ini terletak di ketinggian 320 meter di atas permukaan laut. Prasasti dituliskan pada
sebongkah batu andesit berukuran tinggi 151 cm, diameter atas 72 cm, dan diameter bawah 134
cm. Prasasti Ciaruteun terdiri atas dua bagian, yaitu Prasasti Ciaruteun-A dan Prasasti Ciaruteun-
B. Pada Prasasti Ciaruteun-A terdapat tulisan beraksara Pallawa dan berbahasa Sansekerta
sebanyak 4 baris yang disusun dalam bentuk puisi India dengan irama anustubh, sedangkan pada
Prasasti Ciaruteun-B terdapat goresan sepasang telapak kaki dan goresan seperti motif laba-laba
yang masih belum diketahui maknanya.
This inscription is known to exist based on reports from the leaders of Bataviaasch Genootschap
van Kunsten en Wetenschappen who discovered it in the Ciaruteun River, Bogor in 1863. In
1893, the location of the inscription changed due to flooding. This makes the inscription
overturned so that the writing which was originally above turned upside down and faced down.
The location of the inscription was repaired as before in 1903. In July 1981 the stone inscription
was then moved upward, to its current place in Muara Village, Ciaruteun Hilir Village,
Cibungbulang District, Bogor. This removal effort was carried out by the Directorate for the
Protection and Development of Historical and Antiquity, the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Ciaruteun inscription which is located inside the Ciaruteun Site, ± 19 km southwest of Bogor City
is located at an altitude of 320 meters above sea level. Inscriptions written on a piece of andesite
stone measuring 151 cm high, 72 cm in diameter and 134 cm in diameter. Ciaruteun Inscription
consists of two parts, namely Ciaruteun-A Inscription and Ciaruteun-B Inscription. In the
Ciaruteun-A Inscription there are 4 lines written in Pallawa and Sanskrit in the form of Indian
poetry with an rhythmic anustubh, whereas in the Ciaruteun-B Inscription there are scratches of
a pair of soles and scratches like spider motifs whose meaning is unknown.
Sketsel atau penyekat ruangan ini dibuat dari tiga panel yang dahulu digunakan sebagai jendela
terbuka diatas pintu, kemungkinan besar penyekat ruangan ini berasal dari Kastil Batavia.
Disambung dengan hengsel besi dan panel – panel nya bisa dilipat. Ukiran perempuan dibagian
tengah merupakan Dewi Minerva dari mitologi Romawi , yang mengenakan topi baja dihiasi bulu
burung dan juga dikelilingi oleh meriam dan bendera. Di kedua sisi penyekat ruangan ini dihiasi
dengan ukiran gaya Barok bermoti gulungan.

Sketsel or room screen is made from three panels that were used as open windows above the
door, most likely this room screen came from Batavia Castle. Connected with iron hinges and
panels can be folded. The carved woman in the center is the Goddess of Minerva from Roman
mythology, who wears a helmet decorated with bird feathers and is also surrounded by cannons
and flags. Both sides of the room are decorated with Baroque carvings with scrolls.
 Pada awal tahun 1970-an, petugas PBB dalam bidang rencana pembangunan mengusulkan
kepada Ali Sadikin selaku Gubernur Jakarta saat itu, untuk melakukan revitalisasi kawasan tua dan
bersejarah di Jakarta sehingga nantinya dapat memberikan keuntungan di bidang pariwisata. Usulan
tersebut diterima dan Ali Sadikin memanggil beberapa seniman untuk membuat karya yang menarik
bagi bekas Balai Kota yang diubah menjadi Museum Sejarah Jakarta. Pada awalnya, Harijadi
Sumodidjojo direncanakan akan melukis di kanvas seluas 20 m² yang akan dipajang di salah satu
ruangan museum itu.
Ternyata, dia malah membuat mural secara langsung di permukaan dinding seluas 200 m². Bagian
atas mural setinggi enam meter masih berupa sketsa tanpa warna dan tidak diselesaikan oleh Harijadi
sampai akhir hayatnya. Lokasi museum yang berada sangat dekat dengan laut dan konstruksi
bangunan abad ke-18 menyebabkan dinding tersebut menjadi terlalu lembap dan tidak bisa
ditempeli cat.
Sejak tahun 1974, ruangan berisi mural tersebut sempat dipakai untuk penyimpanan
objek etnografi sehingga dikenal sebagai Ruang Etnografi. Namun, ruangan itu akhirnya digunakan
sebagai ruang penyimpanan barang karena petugas museum sulit menjelaskan keberadaan mural
tersebut apabila ditanyakan oleh pengunjung. Hingga pada tahun 2010, sekelompok seniman Inggris
dan Indonesia tak sengaja menemukan mural itu kembali. Mereka bekerja bersama berbagai ahli
dalam dan luar negeri untuk menerjemahkan misteri lukisan tersebut dan membuatnya menjadi proyek
Misteri Batavia yang dapat dinikmati melalui pertunjukkan interaktif.
 Secara keseluruhan, lukisan ini menggambarkan kehidupan di Batavia antara tahun 1980-1920.
Interaksi manusia yang hidup bersama di kota itu diceritakan berasal dari berbagai kultur dan etnik,
mulai dari Melayu, Arab, Cina, dan Eropa. Di bagian atas mural yang belum diwarnai,
terlukis Stasiun Jatinegara, Harmoni, Kota, Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa dan Tanjung Priok, serta
pecinan. Selain itu, digambarkan pula adanya pintu gerbang Amsterdam dan Kali
Ciliwung. Berbagai pemandangan sehari-hari yang terjadi di Batavia ditampilkan di mural tersebut,
di antaranya suasana pasar, pedagang pikul dan gerobak dorong, nelayan, saudagar Arab yang
sedang mengawasi hasil laut, tukang cukur, pesta makan malam yang dihiasi budak, gambaran
keluarga yang diusir dari rumahnya, serta pencopet yang berada di balik pesta topeng ondel-
ondel. Mural tersebut juga berisi berbagai model transportasi yang pernah ada di Batavia pada
masa itu, mulai dari sado atau delman yang ditarik kuda, sepeda, trem, mobil tua, hingga
penggunaan Sungai Ciliwung.

In the early 1970s, UN officials in the field of development plans proposed to Ali Sadikin as the
Governor of Jakarta at that time, to revitalize the old and historic area in Jakarta so that later it
could provide benefits in the field of tourism. The proposal was accepted and Ali Sadikin called in
several artists to create interesting works for the former City Hall which was converted into the
Jakarta History Museum. Initially, Harijadi Sumodidjojo planned to paint on a 20 m² canvas that
would be displayed in one of the museum's rooms.

Apparently, he instead made a mural directly on the surface of an area of 200 m². The top of the six
meter high mural is still a colorless sketch and was not completed by Harijadi until the end of his
life. The location of the museum which is very close to the sea and the construction of 18th century
buildings causes the walls to become too damp and cannot be plastered with paint.

Since 1974, the room containing the mural was used for storing ethnographic objects so it was
known as the Ethnographic Room. However, the room was eventually used as a storage room for
museum officials because it was difficult to explain the existence of the mural when asked by
visitors. Until in 2010, a group of British and Indonesian artists accidentally found the mural again.
They worked with various domestic and foreign experts to translate the mystery of the painting and
make it a Batavia Mystery project that can be enjoyed through interactive shows.

Overall, this painting depicts life in Batavia between 1980-1920. Human interactions that live
together in the city are said to originate from various cultures and ethnicities, ranging from Malay,
Arabic, Chinese, and European. At the top of the murals that have not been colored, painted
Jatinegara Station, Harmoni, City, Sunda Kelapa Port and Tanjung Priok, as well as Chinatown. In
addition, it also illustrates the gate of Amsterdam and Ciliwung River. Various everyday scenes that
occur in Batavia are displayed in the mural, including the atmosphere of the market, bear traders
and wheelbarrows, fishermen, Arab merchants who are watching the sea products, barbers, dinner
parties decorated with slaves, depicted families who were driven from his house, as well as
pickpockets behind the ondel-ondel mask party. The mural also contained various transportation
models that had existed in Batavia at that time, ranging from horse-drawn sado or delmans,
bicycles, trams, old cars, to the use of the Ciliwung River.
 Lukisan yang menggambarkan sosok Petrus Albertus Van der Parra, salah seorang gubernur
jenderal di Batavia. Dilukis sekitar tahun 1751 hingga 1775 oleh seorang pelukis yang tidak
dikenal namanya. Pada masa perang dunia II, lukisan ini disimpan di rumah Jan Frank, seorang
konservator lukisan pemerintah, dan sejak tahun 1950 menjadi koleksi Museum Sejarah Jakarta.
