The Museum Tekstil in Jakarta, Indonesia, was established in 1976 on the basis of a donation of some five hundred textiles by the Himpunan Wastrapema (‘Society of Textile Friends’). The Museum’s collection contains a wide range of warp and weft ikats, batiks, embroideries, beadwork, appliqués, tapestry weaves, and supplementary warp and weft textiles from all over Indonesia.
