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

Metropole XXI is a movie theater housed in a 1930s building marked by Art Deco geometric designs and contains multiple screening rooms arranged across several floors. The interior still displays the original architectural details with patterns and shapes typical of that era.

Built in 1932, it was one of the city's earliest grand cinemas and became a venue where Indonesian films found an audience. Over the decades it hosted major film festivals and has remained in operation as one of the oldest functioning theaters of its kind.

The name changed from Bioscoop Metropool to Megaria around 1960, when Sukarno's anti-Western policy deemed "metropole" too foreign; it later became Metropole 21, Megaria 21 and Metropole XXI. In the late 1990s, its proximity to the PDI, PPP and Golkar party offices made Megaria a student gathering spot during the Reform movement.

Metropole XXI stands near the junction of Jalan Diponegoro, Jalan Pegangsaan Timur and Jalan Proklamasi in Menteng, Central Jakarta, beside the railway line between Cikini and Manggarai stations. The complex holds three buildings on an 11,800-m² plot: the main cinema with three screens, a fourth screen and performance space behind it, and a building housing offices and the Grohe showroom. The main hall's former balcony staircase now serves as the cinema office.

The architect was Liauw Goan Seng, often mistaken for J.M. Groenewegen, who designed the demolished Menteng Cinema. The first film shown at its April 1951 opening was Annie Get Your Gun starring Betty Hutton. The main staircase that once led to the balcony seats later became a video game arcade, then the cinema's office.
