The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara

Museum MACAN

The museum, which is the first in Indonesia to have a collection of modern and contemporary Indonesian and international art, opened in 2017. It displays around 90 works from a collection totalling 800 modern Indonesian and contemporary artworks from around the world including 'Infinity Mirrored Room' by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. The museum is not frightened to exhibit artists who take a polemic approach and its permanent collection does an excellent job of demonstrating that the development of indigenous art since the start of the 20th century has recorded, commented on and affected political events. All in all better than merely interesting it is an exciting place to visit.

Central Park
locally abbreviated to CP
An increasingly well known shopping mall that has branded fashions (not the upscale like Hermes or Louis Vuitton though), Sogo department store and a huge Gramedia bookstore. Huge garden area with fish ponds, gardens and big stage for a night out. Do not miss the Tribeca portion separated by the park for better dining options. Unique eating options especially East Asian, including 1 special food court for a Japanese taste. Right next to Mal Taman Anggrek.

Nanny's Pavilion
A classy style restaurant where the waiters/waitresses dress up like your nanny. Specializes in western food such as steak and pasta. But the recommendations are the waffles or crepes with ice cream.
