Giving you a chance to learn more about the traditional art of Javanese shadow puppetry, Museum Wayang in Jakarta is an attraction worth visiting. If you are planning to stay in the city and are looking for a centrally located hotel in Jakarta then Millennium Hotel Sirih Jakarta makes a good choice. This Jakarta hotel is only around a 5 minutes drive from the city centre and is well suited for those planning to explore the Indonesian capital. Housed within what was once an Old Dutch Church, the Museum Wayang has a variety of traditional puppets such as wayang kulit and wayang golek. The museum also has similar puppets that are used in various other countries including France and India. If you have time, make sure to visit on a Sunday when you can witness a wayang puppet show for yourself.
