Taman Ismail Marzuki is the center of art in Jakarta, known as TIM for short. This complex acquired its name from the great Indonesian musician, Ismail Marzuki, whose statue guards the entrance gate. This place is a focal point for cultural activities in Jakarta. It is said to be the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia and consists of exhibition halls, theatres, academy of arts, archive building and planetarium.
There are performances almost every night with everything from traditional and modern dance, local and foreign film festivals, poetry readings and theatre, to music of every style imaginable. Traditional performances include wayang dance and drama, gamelan music, and wayang puppet shows.
There are modern, state-of-the-art theatres and cinemas, more traditional auditoriums, street performers and a cornucopia of restaurants and bars offering basic but tasty food and drink from all over Indonesia. The patrons range from the young, trendy, keen-to-be-seen set to bohemian artistes debating the latest trends.
TIM serves not only as the center of contemporary Indonesian art, but has become in recent years a central showcase for international performing arts in Indonesia. Facilities include an indoor and outdoor theater, exhibition halls, two art galleries and a cineplex.
