I was here on Sunday noon but seems the building is closed so I can't see the interior. The outside facade looks great, really Dutch colonial style on every details. Some parts needs to be maintained, though. Since it's hugely renovated in 1987. This place located near the busway station and the famous Passer Baroe (Pasar Baru). I can't see any trashbin outside so it's wise to keep your own rubbish until you find a nearby one. #ecolifestyle #letsguide #localguides

The Jakarta Art Building, historically known as Schouwburg Weltevreden, is a concert hall in Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, Indonesia, built during the colonial period in Batavia, Dutch East Indies. This building still used for theatre, ballet, piano competition and many other arts and cultures show.

Seems magnificent from the outside. So interested to watch an art show here someday.

Historical building. Built around 1821. Currently managed by the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta.

One word when we got here. WOWW..! For cleanliness, for tidiness, and for the building it is still very well maintained, the parking lot is also wide, the location is strategic, there are lots of cafes and places to eat again.😍

A venue with accoustic wall around the auditorium and a great place to watch orchestra... Before now, in the both foyers there're pictures of performing art which was happened in Gedung Kesenian Jakarta so it's like time capsule when you're entering the foyers. Too bad now the pictures (photos) was taken by the Gedung Kesenian Jakarta Management. Previously, watching in this building had added value because not just any artist could perform in Gedung Kesenian Jakarta . But now as long as you pay you can perform here... It's not the same anymore...

Came here to attend Jakarta Walking Tour by JGG. I learned quite a lot of history regarding this building as well as the relationship with the buildings nearby. It located strategically near Katedral Church, Istiqlal Mosque, Banteng Park, etc. There's also a mushala for muslim behind the building.

This Unique Building Was Inaugurated In 1821 And Named Theater Schouwburg Weltevreden Which Translates To Weltevreden Theater. It Was Used As Theaters & Cinemas A Few Times. The First Youth Congress Was Also Held Here In 1926.

(Translated by Google) The place is really nice. There is an attraction to Europe. Gito is basically good, hayer ither tingkhing skill (Original) Tempatnya bagus banget deh. Ada atraksi ke eropaan gito pokoknya bagus banhet hayer ither tingkhing skill

This is one of the historical building in Jakarta, and this building always give different ambience and goosebumps everytime I'm dancing on the stage.

(Translated by Google) The Jakarta Arts Building is an old building from the historical heritage of the Dutch government which still stands firmly in Jakarta. Located at Jalan Gedung Seni No. 1 Central Jakarta. The building is a place for artists from all over the archipelago to showcase their artistic creations, such as drama, theater, film, literature, and so on. [1] This building has a neo-renaissance-style building built in 1821 in Weltevreden which was then known as Theater Schouwburg Weltevreden, also known as the Comedy Building. [2] The idea for this building came from the Governor General of the Netherlands, Daendels. Then realized by the Governor General of England, Thomas Stamford Raffles in 1814. [3] This historic building was formed in the empire style by the architect of the Jeni VOC officer Major Schultze. [4] This luxurious-looking building was used for the first Pemoeda Congress (1926). And, in this building also on August 29, 1945, the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno inaugurated the Central Indonesian National Committee (KNIP) and then met several times in this building [5] Later it was used by the University of Indonesia, Faculty of Economics & Law (1951), and around 1957-1961 it was used as the Indonesian National Theater Academy (ATNI). Subsequently, in 1968 it was used as the "Diana" cinema and in 1969 the "City Theater" cinema. Only in 1984 was its function restored as the Arts Building (Decree of the Governor of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta No. 24 of 1984). [6] This building was renovated in 1987 and began to use the official name Jakarta Arts Building. Previously this building was also known as Pasar Baru Arts Building and Gedung Komidi. [7] Candles and kerosene were used for lighting and then in 1864 gas lamps were used. In 1882 electric lamps began to be used for lighting in buildings. [8] (Original) Gedung Kesenian Jakarta merupakan bangunan tua peninggalan bersejarah pemerintah Belanda yang hingga sekarang masih berdiri kokoh di Jakarta. Terletak di Jalan Gedung Kesenian No. 1 Jakarta Pusat. Gedung tersebut merupakan tempat para seniman dari seluruh Nusantara mempertunjukkan hasil kreasi seninya, seperti drama, teater, film, sastra, dan lain sebagainya.[1] Gedung ini memiliki bangunan bergaya neo-renaisans yang dibangun tahun 1821 di Weltevreden yang saat itu dikenal dengan nama Theater Schouwburg Weltevreden, juga disebut dengan Gedung Komedi.[2] Ide munculnya gedung ini berasal dari Gubernur Jenderal Belanda, Daendels. Kemudian direalisasikan oleh Gubernur Jenderal Inggris, Thomas Stamford Raffles pada tahun 1814.[3] Gedung yang bersejarah ini dibentuk dengan gaya empire oleh arsitek Arsitek Para perwira Jeni VOC, Mayor Schultze.[4] Gedung yang berpenampilan mewah ini pernah digunakan untuk Kongres Pemoeda yang pertama (1926). Dan, di gedung ini pula pada 29 Agustus 1945, Presiden RI pertama Ir. Soekarno meresmikan Komite Nasional Indonesia Pusat (KNIP) dan kemudian beberapa kali bersidang di gedung ini [5] Kemudian dipakai oleh Universitas Indonesia Fakultas Ekonomi & Hukum (1951), dan sekitar tahun 1957-1961 dipakai sebagai Akademi Teater Nasional Indonesia (ATNI). Selanjutnya tahun 1968 dipakai menjadi bioskop “Diana” dan tahun 1969 Bioskop “City Theater”. Baru pada akhirnya pada tahun 1984 dikembalikan fungsinya sebagai Gedung Kesenian (Surat Keputusan Gubernur Kepala Daerah Khusus Ibu kota Jakarta No. 24 tahun 1984).[6] Gedung ini direnovasi pada tahun 1987 dan mulai menggunakan nama resmi Gedung Kesenian Jakarta. Sebelumnya gedung ini dikenal juga sebagai Gedung Kesenian Pasar Baru dan Gedung Komidi.[7] Untuk penerangan digunakan lilin dan minyak tanah dan kemudian pada tahun 1864 digunakan lampu gas. Pada tahun 1882 lampu listrik mulai digunakan untuk penerangan dalam gedung.[8]

Visiting this old building again in Jan 2020 to watch an international art performance. Not much changed since my last visit a couple of years ago. It looks a bit old-fashioned, but when it comes to enjoy the performance it is okay. The accoustic is considered one of the best in Jakarta. The building facilities should be renovated to meet the high standard of a concert hall.

i’m working with art and design, and when i’m enters this building there is lots of inspiration that i got by the artist pf indonesia, nice building clean and nice staffs too, i’m coming from near hotel and just walking to this place, which is good experience

Great place for watch live performance and theater good building also provide large car parking area. Been here for couple of times. Have an easy access for public transportation as well and near from Pasar Baroe area and Starbucks.

Nice place for stage performance, but need parking place more although you can park at post office next by GKJ.

one of cool historical buildings in jakarta. good sound system, clean area, with classic interior design. love it

A very accessible location, has spacious parking lot and beautiful interior design.

I joined a theatre club and perform here. I love the theme of classic theatre auditorium design. And as a performer I love the vast backstage area, just a little plumbing problem need to be fix. Overall nice experience ☺️

One of Jakarta's historical landmark. Not too big. Entering it will make you feel like throwing back to the 18th - 19th century

Haven't been inside yet, the outside is used for PosBloc's parking lot. Very old building, good for photography.

I don't know what word that have to say. But, this place have a so many memories.

My favourite theatre building, lovely vintage interior and nostalgic ambience. Good backstage areas, too. Missed the old backstage walls filled with all kinds of posters of shows performed in the theatre!

when i was in elementary school, i had the opportunity to perform in the choir at the Jakarta Arts Building. In my opinion, the stage and audience seats looked very luxurious and very aesthetic. However, at the back of the stage and the waiting area, it wasnt that great because a lot of the sofas were torn and the floors werent that clean

Why I love this place? 1. Because the atmosphere here embraces a distinct angle of art. It brings people to fall in love with art especially Indonesian culture. 2. That time there was a Simbad theater in here combining with traditional dances from Indonesia. It was terrific outstanding!! 3. You can see many foreigners here join to perform their talents that wrapped up with Indonesian traditional clothes and dancing. it brings Indonesian culture alive! 4. The building is good, the structure seems strong, and many photos around to preserve memories back then. 5. I can't say anything than "this is amazing!" Thanks to the government to preserve this old Dutch building.

I've been living for almost a year in Jakarta and never visited this place before. Okay, it's my fault. When I entered the gate I know that I'll be amazed and that's what happen to me. The architecture is so wonderful. It's very beautiful building. I visited this building for watching a theater show. Hopefully I would visit this place again to enjoy an orchestra concert. Can't wait to make that wish happen.

I love how deceivingly small the building looks from outside. Once you're inside you will be brought back to the 19th century. A quite spacious concert hall with chandelier, European statues, and rich history. One of the most well-kept time capsules that Jakarta has to offer.

A classic art and performance hall and stage. The building is just beautiful though need preservation. The lighting is well maintained. Located strategically in central jakarta. Reachable by busway and online transportation. Notice the limited parking lot.

My first time visiting here was to watch Orchestra held by Jakarta City Philharmonic. Amazing view, comfortable seat, good sound,. The place is easy to reach by public transportation. If you want to bring your own vehicle, this place has well-handled parking area.

Historical art building. But poor maintenance i think.

In 1984, this building was restored and returned to its original function as an artistic performance and its name was designated as "Gedung Kesenian Jakarta".
