A stellar repository of Indonesian and foreign art, the National Gallery of Indonesia is a spectacular window into the country's vibrant culture. The gallery flanks Freedom Square in Central Jakarta, and is home to a collection of 1,700 artworks that include both native and international artists. There is also a section displaying unique abstract art, and features artists such as Victor Vasarely. Some of the more prominent Indonesian artists featured here are Raden Saleh and Basuki Abdullah, among others.

Dia.Lo.Gue is an art space that aims to promote a fruitful dialogue between artists, designers, and their audiences. The center organizes multiple exhibitions throughout the year with the focus being on the display of the best artwork and designs from the length and breadth of Indonesia. The concrete walls and wooden interiors provide a nuanced backdrop for the paintings, sculptures and art installations displayed here. The space also houses a shop that stocks arts and crafts products like stationery and pillowcases, as well as a cafe that serves great coffee and food.

Established in 1870, this magnificent neoclassical building plays host to 19th- and 20th-century Indonesian paintings, ranging from Raden Saleh's The Regent of Lebak through to the modern art of Haryonoto, Mirna and Hardi. It also features an extensive range of naturalistic and abstract sculptures. Another section, the Museum Keramic, features contemporary local ceramics, as well as their 16th- to 20th-century counterparts from Europe and the rest of Asia. A rare collection by the late Vice President Adam Malik steals the limelight.
