Museum Serangga dan Taman Kupu-Kupu, Insect and butterfly museum in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, Indonesia.
The Museum Serangga dan Taman Kupu-Kupu is an educational facility located within Taman Mini Indonesia Indah that houses extensive insect collections. The exhibition displays hundreds of specimens organized in specialized cases, including numerous butterfly and beetle varieties.
The facility was established in 1993 through the efforts of the Indonesian Zoo Association and Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense as an educational resource. This founding created a dedicated space for studying and displaying the country's insect diversity.
The building itself takes the shape of a grasshopper, merging local architectural traditions with the museum's focus on insects. This design choice makes the connection between the structure and its purpose immediately clear to visitors walking through the space.
The museum provides close-up viewing of insects in carefully arranged displays and offers learning opportunities about local biodiversity. Plan time to explore the gardens where you can observe living butterflies and other insects in their natural surroundings.
The attached butterfly garden contains around 20 flowering plant species specifically selected to attract native butterfly species from the region. Visitors can watch living butterflies interact with the plants in their preferred feeding environment.
