Nice textiles but poorly looked after. The location is not exactly great being right in the center with all that traffic.

Great collection and you can also try to make your own batik.

When I say, 'Its kind' I mean very specialized museums. This is devoted to Indonesian textiles, and it's wonderful, even if one is not interested in textiles, and I'm not. (But my wife is.) Cheap admission, a nice old building, good descriptions, lovely fabrics. I didn't mind the two hours we spent there. (My wife could have spent all day.)... More

the collection are ok , they have some old fabrics from all over Indonesia and the place was a colonial building like many other museum in Jakarta or Indonesia but to get there is really really hard with the traffic, its for sure one of the busiest street in jakarta because so close to Tanah Abang market and also from...

The textiles are exhibited well, and changed often so you can always go back to see different ones. You learn a lot about where the good ones come... More

My daughters and i headed to the textile museum on a very rainy day, and we had a ball. The museum part itself is really only interesting to those of us who are really into textiles and the history of them. However, the batik making part is for everyone 'crafty' or artistic. We started with grand ideas and very quickly... More

Nothing to shot out about the museum collection. The collection, although precious, but only conserve just as it is. Some explanation come only in Bahasa, no English translation. No guide available, so you... More
