If you’ve visited before, prepare to be amazed—because this beloved museum has undergone a stunning transformation, blending traditional puppetry with cutting-edge technology.
Jakarta’s famous Puppet Museum, home to an impressive collection of over 6,800 wayang (traditional Indonesian puppets), has now evolved into a fully immersive experience. Whether you’re a history buff, an art lover, or simply a curious traveler, this museum promises an unforgettable adventure.
A Walk Through Time: From Traditional to Technological
Wayang, Indonesia’s ancient shadow puppetry, has been recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Traditionally, wayang performances were accompanied by live gamelan music and intricate storytelling, reflecting deep philosophical and moral lessons. Now, Museum Wayang has taken this heritage and given it a modern twist.
So, what’s new at Museum Wayang? Let’s dive into some of the exciting innovations that make this museum a must-visit in 2025:
✨ Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR)
Ever wondered what it’s like to step inside a wayang performance? With the museum’s AR and VR experiences, you can now interact with legendary wayang characters, watch puppet stories unfold in 3D, and even become part of the play itself. These cutting-edge features allow visitors to explore the world of wayang like never before.
🎭 Mixed Reality (MR) & 360° Immersive Room
Step into a fully immersive 360° projection room where wayang stories come to life all around you. Feel the magic of Indonesia’s folklore as traditional tales unfold with dazzling visuals and sound effects. The Mixed Reality experience also lets you hold a virtual puppet in your hands and control its movements—giving you the power of a true dalang (puppet master)!
🕹️ Interactive Games & Digital Wayang Workshop
If you’re traveling with kids (or if you’re a kid at heart), you’ll love the interactive wayang games! Learn the different wayang characters, play with digital puppets, and even create your own wayang story. The museum’s digital workshop also offers a chance to design and print your own wayang figure, bringing home a personalized piece of Indonesia’s cultural heritage.
♿ Inclusive & Accessible Experience
The new Museum Wayang isn’t just about technology—it’s also about inclusivity. The museum has introduced interactive ramps and improved accessibility features, making it welcoming for all visitors, including those with disabilities. This means that everyone, regardless of mobility, can fully enjoy and engage with the exhibits.
