Indonesia Museum, History museum in Cipayung, Indonesia

The Indonesia Museum is an anthropology and ethnology museum in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, designed by Balinese architect Ida Bagus Tugur. Its three floors follow the Balinese Tri Hita Karana philosophy: the first shows traditional dress and wedding costumes from 27 provinces, the second displays miniature traditional houses and life-cycle dioramas, and the third holds textiles and a Kalpataru tree carving.

The museum was founded in 1980 as part of a nationwide effort to gather cultural objects from across Indonesia. This founding coincided with the fifth anniversary celebrations of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah.

The museum displays traditional costumes, ceremonial objects, musical instruments, and handicrafts from diverse ethnic groups across the Indonesian archipelago. These collections give you a direct sense of how different regions express themselves through their own traditions and arts.

The three floors follow a fixed order: costumes and dance on the ground floor, traditional houses and life-cycle dioramas on the second, wood and textile crafts on the third, ending at the eight-metre Kalpataru carving. The complex also holds a Balinese garden, Bale Panjang, Bale Bundar and Soko Tujuh, rentable for events. Since 2022 TMII has been managed by PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan dan Ratu Boko.

The bridge to the main building is shaped as Naga serpents with the vanara ape army that, in the Ramayana, built a bridge to Lanka. The park around the museum follows the same epic theme, so the approach is part of the display.
