WEST JAVA PAVILION

Sampurasun!

Wilujeng sumping!

West Java, the heart of Sundanese culture also known as ‘Tatar Sunda’, spreads its charm with the richness of its agricultural produce and advanced economic life. Not surprisingly, its rice production contributes 20.11 percent to the total national rice production.

The culture and cuisine of West Java are equally fascinating. Pencak Silat, Jaipong, Wayang Golek, Kuda Renggong, Sisingaan, Kuda Lumping, Angklung, Tari Topeng (Mask Dance), Ronggeng Gunung, and Tayub are some of its cultural heritage inherited through generations. It is also famous for its culinary delights, from Batagor, Siomai, Cireng, Cuanki to Sate Maranggi.

Experience the uniqueness of West Java at its pavilion in TMII. The main building, a replica of the Kasepuhan Cirebon Palace, is divided into several rooms to introduce its cultural diversity.

Jinem Pangrawit, the first part, serves as an exhibition space and showcases Degung and Kecapi Suling performances, as well as regular dance training sessions. Secondly, there are Bangsal Prabayaksa and Bangsal Pringgondani, which have been converted into exhibition spaces showcasing various distinctive products from regencies/cities in West Java, as well as Sundanese traditional attire for various groups and bridal attire. The last area, Bangsal Dalem (Bangsal Panembahan), is currently repurposed as a display space for Sundanese arts, featuring traditional Sundanese musical instruments known as waditra.

Not only that, the West Java pavilion at TMII also features a bamboo-walled stilt house (gedek) with traditional furniture, as well as open-air amphitheater that faces the archipelago area of the Indonesian islands, offering a captivating panoramic view and providing a visually stunning, Instagram-worthy setting.

DID YOU KNOW?

Angklung, a traditional musical instrument from West Java, brings pride to Indonesia on the world stage. In 2010, this musical instrument was designated as a cultural heritage by UNESCO. The name angklung is taken from the Sundanese word “angkelung-angkleung” and this instrument produces different tones depending on the size of the bamboo.
