INTRODUCTION
A. Background
In modern times, the general public is no longer studying history, especially the history of human life. This study age, history has only been studied in the material, without any realization in practice activity this mengajar.Saat people prefer to visit places of entertainment of the historic places such as museums.
Museum is one of the gathering places of historical objects. Such as human fossils ancient times, the inscription, transportation, weapons, until the relics of ancient human. This observation study we focus on the Elephant Museum. In addition to the study material, there are also a lot of science.

In the stage of collecting data, we go directly to the data source, which is housed in the Elephant Museum, Jakarta. Which was held on Wednesday, February 13, 2013.
CHAPTER IV
DATA ANALYSIS
A. Background The establishment of the Museum Gajah
National Museum of the Republic of Indonesia or the Museum Gajah, with classicism style, the building of the National Museum of the Republic of Indonesia is one of the main form of European influence, especially the spirit of the Enlightenment, which emerged at around the 18th century.
Enlightenment (Aufklarung) in Europe resulted in the emergence of various scientific associations in Europe. In the Indonesian colonial period, precisely in 1778, formed Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kusten en Wetenschappen (bond Batavia Arts and Sciences). In 1868, the museum was built, as the binding site was centered, as well as a museum.
B. A Brief History Museum Gajah
This building was built in 1862 by the government in response to the association Royal Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences that examined the scientific research in the Dutch East Indies.
The National Museum Complex is built on a land of about 16,500 m² up to now have two buildings. In 1871, the museum received a gift from King Chulalongkorn of Thailand, in the form of an elephant statue.
The new wing was added in 1996 to the north of the old building. This building is called the Unit B or building Arca.
C. Scope Elephant Museum
The old building (building A) is used to showcase the museum's collection and storing space (storage). While Building B (Gedung Arca), which was officially opened on 10 June 2007 by DR.Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (President), but used for the space character (floors 1 to 4), also used for offices, conference rooms, laboratories, libraries , etc.
This building represents the works of Neo-classical built in Indonesia during the 19th century until the early 20th century Note the division of the rooms in the original building of this museum (space Ethnographic, Historical areas, etc.). Are still the same as in the colonial period first. Note that "Historical Room" is a relic of the Europeans; sabuah attempt to write the history of Indonesia according to the subjectivity of the European colonialists who dijewantahkan spatial.
Chairman or leader Museum today is led by Diamond Musliani.
D. Collection of Materials Research Elephant Museum
On the 1st floor to the 4th floor of this room exhibited by the objects of pre-history, such as: the fossils of ancient times, science technology and economics, to the stories of the historical development of early humans on earth.
On the 2nd floor exhibiting various collections of material culture which can reveal a variety of human knowledge, especially humans Indonesia, also regarding the technology of applied technical knowledge. What is also important is the economic activity, one aspect of human life which is focused on production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services.
This exhibition displays some aspects of science and technology, among others: Script and Language, Law in Indonesia, Architecture, Astronomy and Navigation, Medicine and Food Processing, Protection Equipment, Production Equipment, Communication Equipment, Transport and Economics.
1. Definition Science and Technology
Science and technology are the two subsystems in culture are interrelated.
Knowledge (Knowledge) was born from the experience of being absorbed by the human senses are poured into ideas that are real (tangible) or intangible (intangible).
While Science (science) in a broader sense refers to a systematic knowledge. The device of the science of applied technical nature, objectivity, and experimentation.
Technology is applied knowledge of a technical nature, includes three main elements, namely human to design and realize a limb or materials as a means of processing or processed and processed products object.
2. Definition of Literacy and Language
Whichever occurs first human study, script or language? Of course the language.
Language is the mother of all human knowledge acquired. When the baby was born, the first thing done by those around him, especially his mother, is communicating in "sign language". For example 'crying' that indicates the baby was hungry or uncomfortable. Moving the age of 1-2 years are taught to recognize objects around it and the words most often spoken in the "mother tongue". That is the first knowledge acquired by man in early childhood / child (under five years). Entering school age (around 6-7 years) then taught the letters / characters and reading.
What was the writing? Writing consists of a series of letters / characters, a symbol of human uttered sound yangt, forming a series of words that are meaningful and serves as a communication tool between people who disagree or have the same language. Writing as a communication tool will not help if the language embodied in a system of signs was not diketahua by readers.
More than 90% of time that has passed mankind is the period before the known writings (nirieka) or commonly known as pre-history. The reach of its time covering about two million years, that period began, the fossils of early humans first. Humans are new to writing about 5,000 years ago, which marked the history of the period. It explains that the level of development of human intelligence starts from Sign Language, Language Spoken, then new English writing.
3. Transport
Humans can be said as being a dynamic, meaning that it does not just stay in one place but moved to another place to perform the activity. If the destination is nearby and easily accessible, perhaps enough to rely on his legs to reach the place in question. Start obstacles arise when the destination is a remote and relatively inaccessible. To overcome these obstacles human menciptaklan means to utilize existing facilities, ie transportation.
Man may initially utilize existing facilities, namely riding animals like horses, cows, buffaloes and elephants. Furthermore, humans develop animal-drawn vehicle horses or cattle as ground transportation to transport himself and luggage or merchandise; it creates a gig and so on.
In addition to ground transportation, humans also created boats and ships as transport water (river and sea). Through this water transportation Indonesian man known as the brave sailors who sailed the vast oceans to reach islands far from where she lived.
Transport equipment growing rapidly after the invention of the steam engine-driven with water, fuel and electricity as kerta fire, car, motorcycle and boat fire. Even entered the 20th century, created the aircraft as a means of air transport.

Since about the 19th century became known use of a compass in the voyage. The use of a compass in the shipping usually comes with the use of maps.
Ø Globe (Europe)

5. Transport
Ø The boat Nade (Sumatra)
This boat is a boat other than the traditional commercial boats and boat Pinisi Lete. This boat used to transport wood, animals and other items to be traded. Now many are using machines weighing between 200-500 tons.
Ø Boat Pinisi (Ujung Pandang)
These boats since the 19th century, a boat Bugis. The original boat has seven screens and colonnaded two. Pinisi has developed as the largest commercial transport means in the archipelago. Now the boat is already using the machine, and is widely used to transport timber from the area to Jakarta.
Ø Bendi and cikar
Bendi as a means of transport that use animal power is also an effective way of transportation.
Cikar, this vehicle harness for driving animals horse, cow or buffalo. The difference of the trains 'modern' is not used to reduce the shock spring.
In addition to the examples above research material, there are very many other research material such as: traditional musical instruments, laboratories, a map of the archipelago, and others.
