A new heritage showcase delivers an immersive, story driven journey through the legacy and contributions of a vibrant community

The Indonesian Chinese Cultural Gallery GBTI has officially opened in the Pantjoran Pantai Indah Kapuk PIK area of North Jakarta, adding a new cultural destination to a district long known for its culinary and recreational attractions. The gallery is presented by Agung Sedayu Group in collaboration with Salim Group as part of their commitment to providing an accessible cultural and educational space for the public.

GBTI is designed as a center for information on the history and culture of Chinese Indonesians. It functions not only as an exhibition venue but also as an educational resource, a growing community hub, and a source of creative inspiration for visitors of different generations. Its concept uses a narrative curatorial approach that connects past and present, helping visitors understand the materials in a clear and contextual way.

The opening of GBTI is part of broader destination development and sustainable cultural programs in the PIK area. The initiative highlights an inclusive approach that encourages collaboration and public engagement. The gallery does more than display artifacts and historical records. It also creates space for interaction and shared learning. Through its collections and storytelling, it presents the historical journey, resilience, and contributions of the Chinese Indonesian community to Indonesia’s cultural diversity in a structured format.

Rather than following a conventional museum model, GBTI offers an experience that blends education and interaction with modern technology and thoughtful visual design. Visitors can explore historical and cultural content through displays created to be informative, engaging, and easy to navigate. This method supports learning while matching contemporary presentation styles and visitor expectations.

GBTI is located in the Pantjoran PIK area, Pantai Maju Island D, North Jakarta. The gallery has been open to the public since Friday, 23 January 2026. It operates daily according to Pantjoran PIK opening hours, generally from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM Western Indonesian Time. Its location within an established tourism area makes it convenient and easy to access.

The gallery also complements the overall visitor experience at Pantjoran PIK. In addition to gaining historical and cultural knowledge, visitors can enjoy photography and culinary exploration around the site. A visit therefore offers both recreational value and educational benefit.

With its educational purpose, community focus, and relevant presentation style, the Indonesian Chinese Cultural Gallery is expected to grow as an active cultural space for learning, appreciation, and dialogue, helping strengthen public understanding of Indonesia’s diverse cultural heritage.
