East Timor Museum

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 museum was established in 1979 following the region's incorporation into Indonesia and documents the period that followed this major change. Its collections focus on capturing the territory's development during these decades.

The museum displays traditional East Timorese textiles and ceremonial objects that reflect the region's craftsmanship and spiritual practices. These items reveal how daily life, family structures, and local customs have shaped society.

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.

Much of the collection originates from the museum's founding in 1979 and preserves a snapshot of the region before independence. These photographs and documents offer a rare perspective on a transformative period.
