What is Taman Mini?

Nitra, Mascot of Taman Mini

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah is a famous

recreational park located in Jakarta. Just
like its name says, Taman Mini is formed
like a miniature of Indonesia.
Brief History of Taman
Mini
This idea to build the smaller scale of
Indonesia was originally came from
former Indonesian first lady, Siti
Hartinah, or best-known as Tien
Suharto. The idea came out at a
convention on 8 Cendana Street at
March 13, 1970. The project called
"Indonesian Miniature Project" was
started by Harapan Kita Foundation in
1972. The concept of this culture-based
recreational area was taken from the
fact that Indonesia has unparalled
richness and diversity from many
different aspects.

The venues are thematically divided into six areas in respect to the main
islands of Indonesia; Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi, the
Lesser Sunda Islands, Maluku and Papua.

Timor pavilion changed its status to become the Museum of East Timor.
