Taman Prasasti Museum is an open air museum in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. It was formerly a cemetery built by the Dutch East Indies colonial government in 1795 to bury noble Dutch residents, believed to be one of the oldest cemeteries in the world. Many colonial figures were buried there; one of them was Peter Eberveld, who was convicted of conspiracy against the government and was put to death by having his hands and legs tied to four horses that ran to four separate directions, causing his body being torn apart. Others include Olivia Raffles, wife of Sir Stamford Raffles the founder of Singapore, J. L. A. Brandes who translated ancient Javanese texts Nagarakretagama and Pararaton, and Maj. Gen. Johan H. R. Kohler who died in the First Aceh War in 1873.
