Puppets are a famous traditional art form in Jakarta and they are on display here in full force: three-dimensional puppets, shadow puppets and dancing puppets. Wayang features weekly performances, held on Sunday mornings at 10, and visitors with children are encouraged to attend. Afterwards, enjoy lunch at Café Batavia right across the street.
