Museum di Tengah Kebun, Private museum in Kemang district, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Museum di Tengah Kebun is a private museum in Jakarta's Kemang district that houses around 4,000 art pieces and historical artifacts. The collection is organized across 17 thematic rooms spread throughout the property.
The museum's walls were built using around 65,000 bricks from former Dutch East India Company buildings. Door fixtures from an 18th-century women's prison were incorporated into the structure.
The Buddha Room exhibits statues from various countries, while the Loro Blonyo Room displays traditional Javanese marriage figurines that symbolize harmony. These collections show how religious and cultural traditions come together in one space.
The museum opens daily except Mondays and national holidays, so plan a visit on another day of the week. It sits on Jl. Kemang Timur 66 in Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta, within a 3,500-square-metre garden. Guided tours can be arranged on request.
The Singa Garuda room is a 9-by-11-metre bathroom, not a display hall. Inside it stand a Qing-dynasty lounge chair, a 19th-century French oil lamp and a mahogany bench belonging to King George II, placed among the sanitary fittings.
