Jakarta Art Building, Performing arts center in Central Jakarta, Indonesia
The Jakarta Art Building stands with a neo-classical facade, rectangular shape, symmetrical design, and prominent dome at the heart of Central Jakarta.
Built in 1821 under Dutch colonial rule as Theater Schouwburg Weltevreden, the structure served as a theater and concert hall for European performances.
The venue hosts Indonesian traditional performances, including wayang kulit puppet shows, gamelan music concerts, and contemporary theatrical productions throughout the year.
The auditorium contains 451 seats arranged in a horseshoe configuration, complete with modern sound systems, lighting equipment, and air conditioning.
The building transformed from a movie theater named Diana in 1968 to City Theater in 1969 before returning to its original function as an arts center.
