Taman Ismail Marzuki
Jakarta's arts center. Renovated in 2022, it features theaters, a planetarium, a library, and a rooftop garden, with performances and exhibitions held year-round.
Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM), founded in 1968 and named after the Indonesian composer Ismail Marzuki, is Jakarta's center for theater, music, and film. After renovation, it added a modern grand theater, the Jakarta Planetarium (which offers dome shows and requires advance booking), the H.B. Jassin Literary Resource Center, and a green rooftop park. It is ideal for evening performances or architectural photography. Entry to the grounds is free. Performances and planetarium shows require separate tickets (check the official website). It is located in Cikini, Menteng, and can be visited together with the Jalan Surabaya Antique Market.
