Taman Nusa is an ethnic park of Indonesian culture , where you can see traditional houses for all regions of Indonesia , as well as get acquainted with the representatives of different nationalities inhabiting the country. The motto of the park is See Indonesia in One Afternoon, which can be translated as "See the whole of Indonesia in half a day." And indeed, here you can get an idea of the traditions and way of life if not all of the Indonesian islands (after all, there are more than 17,000 islands in the country!), Then at least all the large ones.
general information
Taman Nusa is in Bali . The idea of creating a theme park originated in Javanese Santoso Senagsya (Santoso Senangsyah). It was his family who started to create the park, and Santoso himself is its director.
The project took about 7 years. Today, you can get acquainted not only with the life of the people of Indonesia, but also with its history. In addition to traditional dwellings for different parts of the country, there are two museums in which you can get acquainted with such traditional kinds of crafts as weaving, batik, embroidery, shadowy vayang theater, etc.
In addition, in Taman Nusa Park you can see a small copy of such a famous temple as the Balinese Borobudur , as well as statues of the Prime Minister, President and Vice-President of Indonesia. There is a theater and a library in the park.
It occupies an ethnic park of 5 hectares. In the creation of its exhibits, masters from all over the country took part.
Park structure
The first section, which includes visitors, is dedicated to the prehistoric era. Enter it through the cave. Waterfalls, giant boulders, growl and other sounds produced by animals that inhabited the territory of Indonesia at that time will allow you to fully experience yourself "BC."
Having examined Indonesia ancient, visitors can get acquainted with Indonesia modern. Here you can see how and how people live in such corners of the country as:
- Western Papua;
- Small Sunda Islands;
- Aceh;
- the islands of Central and Southern Sulawesi ;
- Java ;
- different regions of Sumatra ;
- Nusa Tenggara;
- the island of Kalimantan .
Acquaintance is not only in the survey of dwellings: here you can see residents who are engaged in traditional crafts for their region (for example, woodcarving, painting fabrics, making dolls). You can meet here and musicians who play traditional musical instruments, and dancers. And one of the most unusual "exhibits" of the ethnopark is the Sulawesi cemetery with dolls depicting how many people and who exactly is buried in this crypt.
