On Jalan Dipati Ukur No. 48, Bandung City, precisely in Lebak Gede and Sadang Serang Villages, Coblong District, there is a building in the form of pointed bamboo combined with a modern architectural style. The location is in an open area, a straight line between Gedung Sate and Gasibu Field, and in front of the Padjadjaran University (Unpad) Campus. Yes, this is the West Java People's Struggle Monument building known as Monpera or Monju. At the bottom of this monument building, there is a large enough room that functions as the Museum of the History of the People's Struggle of West Java.



The location of the monument, which was inaugurated by the Governor of West Java, R. Nuriana on August 23, 1995, is very strategic because it is located at one point in the historical tourist area, namely the Bandung Geological Museum, the Postal Museum, and Gedung Sate. Its close proximity makes it easy to visit on foot.


The monument, which since April 2010 has been managed by the Center for Management of Archaeological, Historical and Traditional Values ​​(BPKSNT), the Department of Culture and Tourism of West Java Province, informs historical events in the West Java region. Among them are designed in the form of dioramas and historical reliefs of West Java.


The form of this monument is not singular, but plural. It is manifested in five elements of form that become a harmonious whole (beungkeutan), which are almost the same as each other. This form has a meaning related to a Sundanese culture that does not know the center (central), but is spread in various places, and has a plural, dynamic and democratic nature. This monument is also essentially a character of the struggle of the people of West Java from time to time, which contains the intrinsic values ​​of culture and the struggle of the people. There is no struggle without unity, so it must be a bond (hiji beungkeutan), but to become a united bond requires struggle. In short the struggle for unity and unity for the struggle. All of this is manifested in a building design that is flexible, plastic, not massive, but woven, which was designed by an architect from Bandung, Slamet Wirasonjaya, and an artist Sunaryo.
