Ismail Marzuki Park, (Indonesian: Taman Ismail Marzuki, TIM),[1] is an arts, cultural, and science center located at Cikini in Jakarta, Indonesia. Taman Ismail Marzuki complex comprises several facilities including six performing arts theaters, cinemas, an exhibition hall, a gallery, libraries, and an archive building.[1] The complex is built on a 9-hectare land area, which was previously a zoo.[2] TIM is named after Ismail Marzuki, one of Indonesia's most influential composers.[3]
The goal of building the complex was to use it as a hub for fine and performing arts, a window into Indonesia's diverse and rich culture. The complex was previously known as Jakarta Arts Center. Management of TIM was handed to the Jakarta Arts Council, while operations are funded by rental fees for the facilities and subsidies from the Jakarta city administration.
