A Puppet & Textile Museum is here, plus a miniature replica of the ancient Borobudur Temple located near Yogyakarta in Java (constructed of volcanic stone in the 8th century and a wonder of the ancient world, it is a UNESCO site and the largest Buddhist temple in the world).

Love the idea of a cultural village!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with these type of cultural experiences. Some times they can feel so Disney. On the other hand, people can learn a lot about cultural traditions and dying arts . What was your take?
ReplyDeleteThis one didn't feel Disneyesque. However, it is new and just fleshing out its offerings. No amusement park feel or rides. :)
