Taman Mini Indonesia Park in Jakarta

On July 21 of 1980, husband Pieter had a chance to visit Taman Mini Indonesia Park near Jakarta.
They did bring most of the nation's architecture together in a Park as a tourist attraction.
Such as this colorful Sumatra House 
Look at its roof shape!
Such a detailed wood carving...
No doubt that took lots of hours to accomplish.
Incredible detail!
Now to the Sulawesi Pavilion...
Actually a stilt house, with an enormously steep roof...
Again, incredible detail in woodcarving and color.
Thatched roof.
Guess the sky is the limit...

Thanks for your visit and comment!

      Beste Willy,
      Ja, het is een verbazende cultuur ons voormalige Indië. Met name hun prachtige houtsnijwerk kunst.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

    Buenos detalles de ese arte oriental, que has fotografiado.

    Tus bellas fotos, dan testimonio de él.

    Pensaba que había comentado ya estas fotos, pero al no ver aparecer mi comentario, debo de andar confundida.

    Besos

    Hello Mariette, All that wonderful carving and embellishment. Very unique and individual. You know me, I would have loved exploring around for older, hidden examples.

      Dearest Jim,
      You no doubt would have enjoyed exploring that entire park.
      Yes, Indonesia is famous for its wood carving and these exotic colors work well for the tropics.
      Hugs,

    Traja style architecture is amazing. We can see a similar design in old buildings such as Ise shrine.
    Happy weekend to you.

      Dearest RTC,
      Yes, you sure have lots of ancient architecture in Japan and that too looks always amazing and consists for a big part of wood as well.
      People have been real artists over the ages.
      Hugs,

    Wow very unique and amazing buildings! The detail of woodwork is incredible! It must have taken lots of hours and manpower to finish. Love the roof in the second photo :-)

    Thank you for sharing, Mariette. Happy weekend to you xo

      Dearest Tamago,
      Yes, this looks rather intricate and labor intensive but guess they always had enough hands on for completing.
      Incredible roof top indeed.
      Hugs and happy weekend to you!

      Dearest Endah,
      Guess it would be a lot easier for visiting Taman Mini, instead of doing the island hop.
