East Timor Museum

East Timor Museum, History museum in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, Indonesia.

East Timor Museum is housed in a separate building within the Taman Mini cultural complex and displays collections documenting the region's history and traditions. The exhibition includes historical records, period photographs, household goods, and crafted items that provide a broad overview of the territory.

The East Timor Museum began as the Timor-Timur regional pavilion, built in 1979 and inaugurated on 20 April 1980 by President Soeharto. After East Timor separated from Indonesia, the pavilion was kept by Taman Mini Indonesia Indah as a monument and later turned into a museum managed by the Istana Anak-Anak Indonesia. On 4 December 1981 it received Indian Prime Minister Neelam Sanjiva Reddy, who planted a friendship banyan there.

The main house, an uma lautem on four three-metre posts, holds the collection: tais cloth woven in East Timor, manatutu ceramics, plaited tal-leaf mats, shells from Atauro island, and photographs of white-sand beaches and the Cristo Rei statue. The twin open pavilions flanking it, called uma laku, served as customary meeting halls and now shelter resting visitors.

Access is through the main entrance of Taman Mini park, with hours aligned to the complex's regular schedule. The collection is housed in a single building that visitors can reach on foot from the park entrance.

On 4 December 1981 the pavilion received Indian Prime Minister Neelam Sanjiva Reddy and his wife, who planted a friendship banyan tree there. The building began as a regional pavilion opened by President Soeharto on 20 April 1980, and after East Timor separated from Indonesia it was kept as a monument, later run as a museum by the Istana Anak-Anak Indonesia.
