Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) or "Beautiful Indonesia
Miniature Park" (literally translated) is a culture-based
recreational
area located in
East Jakarta,
Indonesia. It
has an area of about 250 acres (1.0 km
2). The park is a
synopsis of
Indonesian culture, with virtually all aspects
of daily life in Indonesia's 26 (in 1975)
provinces encapsulated in separate pavilions
with the collections of
Indonesian architecture, clothing, dances
and traditions are all depicted impeccably. Apart from that, there is a lake
with a miniature of the archipelago in the middle of it, cable cars, museums,
Keong Emas Imax cinema, a theater called the Theatre of My Homeland (
Theater
Tanah Airku) and other recreational facilities which make TMII one of the most
popular
tourist
destinations in the city.
Since 2007 Taman Mini Indonesia Indah launched new logo with branding slogan
Pesona Indonesia ("Indonesian Charm").
History
This idea to
build the smaller scale of Indonesia was originally came from former Indonesian
first lady,
Siti
Hartinah or best
known as Tien Suharto.
The idea came out at a convention on 8 Cendana Street at March 13, 1970.
Through this recreational site, she hoped more Indonesian people will have more
national pride than before. The project called "Indonesian Miniature
Project" was started by Harapan Kita Foundation in 1972. The concept of
this culture-based recreational area was taken from the fact that Indonesia has
unparalled richness and diversity from many different aspects.
