The first day of fasting, I decided come to the museum with a house nearby. Not to mention whenever i'm go home, always passing by this museum because its next to tanah abang station. I came around 11am, so buy tickets at the counter for IDR 2,000. The counter guards immediately shocked. Later I knew why his gave that kind a expression like " what the hell are youngster doing in this place?" you might notice about the name, yes textile museum the word to describe is 'just like art gallery' with fabric with historical value.
The collections inside contains dozen of fabric from all over Indonesia, actually its kind a cool that you can lear so many cultural trough piece of fabric. I have to give two tumbs up for the ways they display it, so elegant and couture yet rich of local estathic. Several of this textile fabric are 1 meter long and need half of room to display it. You also can read the description where it came and the main purpose using it like for weeding or other ceremonial things.
back of the museum
Although classified as a special collection for textile lovers! So only fabrics only. But the textile museum is clean and tidy, not to mention there is a cozy garden, just when I come many who are not opened. Such as batik workshop, souvenirs store and there are several buildings that I have to open the door because of curiosity what its contents.
Batik Gallery
This is the main gallery for Indonesia tradisional fabric called batik. There enough pattern and type of batik to see inside it, eventough they display it in such narrow space and the actually building is a colonial dutch house than restore from being abandone. Well, the entire textile museum building actually an colonial house from dutch occupation age. That why sometime i felt so bored in this museum, because it doesnt give me the chill, like other museum with huge bulding type.
The textile museum is quite good, since I was not so interested in the fabric plus Just me up like a zombie in a ghost town. Just last 30 minutes to enjoy the textile museum of Jakarta, if only there is a cafeteria or a place to hang out for sure I stay longer. The bright side Jakarta textile museum are inspiring place, quiet and cool totally suitable for writing.
