The idea to establish a museum dedicated to the Javanese farming was started in 1998 . At that time , traditional farming implements were collected to be preserved . The collection was done by the villagers in Candran village led by the chief of the village . On May 27 , 2007 , the museum was established ; exactly one year following the major earthquake in Yogyakarta . The museum was built on a plot of land which belongs to Ki Condro , the founder of Candran Village . Funding for the construction of the museum was collected by the Regent of Bantul from villagers surrounding the area . The goal of the museum is to enable visitors to learn about Javanese culture of farming and its arts , and to enable visitors to experience Javanese farmings by using the items . Javanese Farm Museum has been incorporated into the Supervisory Board of the Museums ( '' BARASMUS , Badan Musyawarah Museum '' ) , an organization which oversees museums in Indonesia . The Javanese Farm Museum is supervised by the Indonesian Department of Tourism , Education , and Culture .
