Getting There
The museum is situated in the southern part of the city. From Jakarta's city centre, the most common way to reach the site is via ride-hailing apps or taxi. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes.
Visit Duration
Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk through the galleries and view the collection. If you choose to participate in one of the available workshops, you will need to allocate additional time.
