National Gallery of Indonesia, Arts center in Gambir, Indonesia

The National Gallery of Indonesia is a state visual arts institution on Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur No. 14 in Central Jakarta, comprising several buildings around a courtyard. Its main structure, Gedung A, is a Dutch Indies colonial residence built in 1817 by G.C. Van Rijk from materials taken from the remains of Kasteel Batavia; Gedung B, a former lyceum of 1902, stands alongside it. The galleries hold more than 1,800 paintings, sculptures, photographs and prints by Indonesian and foreign artists.

Gedung A was built in 1817 by G.C. Van Rijk as an Indies residence using materials from the remains of Kasteel Batavia. In 1900 it became part of the Carpentier Alting Stichting school, with the former residence turned into a female dormitory. After the school was abolished in 1961, the building passed through several uses before being dedicated as the National Gallery of Indonesia on 8 May 1999.

The gallery displays works by Indonesian artists like Raden Saleh and Affandi, who shaped the nation's visual identity through painting and sculpture. These works sit alongside international pieces, allowing visitors to understand how art reflects Indonesian creativity and vision.

Visitors can register on site for a chosen arrival time between 09:00 and 18:00 WIB; only exhibition rooms require a ticket, while entry to the gallery grounds is free. The gallery is at Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur No. 14 in Central Jakarta, near Gambir.

The main building, Gedung A, was erected in 1817 as an Indies residence for G.C. Van Rijk using materials taken from the remains of Kasteel Batavia. After 1965 it housed the KAPPI youth and student command, then served as headquarters of the Jayasakti Infantry Brigade before returning to the education ministry in 1981.
