Odwiedź Indonezję: Discover Indonesian Cultural Heritage at Asia and Pacific Museum

This permanent exhibition invites visitors to explore Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia. It showcases a rich collection of traditional artifacts, including weaponry, ceremonial clothing, musical instruments, and wayang puppets, largely drawn from the museum's founding collection.

The Asia and Pacific Museum presents 'Odwiedź Indonezję' (Visit Indonesia), a permanent exhibition dedicated to the largest country in Southeast Asia, comprising approximately 18,000 islands. The core of this exhibition is built upon the founding collection of the museum's creator and patron, Andrzej Wawrzyniak (1931-2020). The Indonesian collection represents the most extensive and significant assembly within the museum's holdings. Visitors can expect to see numerous examples of traditional weaponry, notably kris daggers, which hold great respect and are associated with many customs. The display also features examples of Indonesian attire, including those worn for classic Balinese dances and wedding ceremonies, a gamelan orchestra ensemble primarily composed of gongs of various sizes and keyed instruments, a rich collection of batik fabrics, and numerous wayang puppets crafted from intricately cut leather, used in shadow puppet theater performances. Beyond the masks, weapons, costumes, and wayang puppets, visitors can also admire a 'pendopo' – a wooden pavilion traditionally used for classical Indonesian gamelan orchestra concerts and shadow puppet theater performances, offering a close look at elements of the region's distant past.
