Metropole XXI, Art Deco movie theater in Central Jakarta, Indonesia

The Metropole XXI cinema occupies a grand building with geometric Art Deco patterns, hosting multiple screening rooms across different levels of the complex.

Built in 1932 as Bioscoop Metropool by architect Liauw Goan Seng, the cinema featured in the first Indonesian Film Festival of 1955 and Asia Pacific Film Festival of 1970.

The cinema changed its name to Megaria during President Sukarno's era and supported local film industry development against the dominance of Hollywood productions.

The theater operates with different pricing tiers throughout the week, offering regular screenings from morning until late evening with online booking options.

The building received heritage status protection in 1993 and remains the oldest operating movie theater in Jakarta following extensive renovations between 2009 and 2015.
