About this work
The eight-sided Duiveneiland lighthouse, on the south-west point of Java, comprises five storeys. The entrance is on the first storey. Three sides of the model have been left open to display the interior and stairs. A bell hangs on one side. The lighthouse was built in the Netherlands between 1870 and 1872, then dismantled and shipped to Indonesia where it was reassembled.
