A visit to TMII is not complete without exploring the Regional Pavilions area. Surrounding the Miniature Archipelago Lake, the Regional Pavilions feature a collection of traditional houses from all 33 provinces of Indonesia. Each provincial government presents a variety of traditional house styles unique to their region in a dedicated zone, reflecting the identity, local wisdom, and cultural depth of their people.

Beyond traditional houses, the pavilions also showcase tangible and intangible cultural heritage, along with statues of endemic flora and fauna. It is no surprise that the Regional Pavilions are often visited by school groups as an educational resource. Provincial governments occasionally hold community gatherings and traditional ceremonies here, drawing in local cultural communities. Some pavilions even offer regional culinary specialties that are rarely found elsewhere.

From the majestic Rumah Gadang of West Sumatra to the graceful elegance of the Javanese Joglo, each traditional house reflects a harmony between people and nature, infused with deep philosophical meanings. These architectural forms serve as a medium for expressing life values and community spirit, embodied in distinctive structures that represent the identity of each region.
