The TIM centre fills in a long-felt void in the cultural scene in Jakarta. Earlier, many local artists where hampered by the lack of a proper venue to perform. But with the establishment of the art centre they now have state-of-the-art facilities as well as a regular appreciative audience. The centre also has a planetarium that is a favorite among schoolchildren. Located within easy access of Jakarta accommodation such as the Somerset Berlian which is a serviced apartment in Jakarta, the TIM art centre is well worth a visit by a tourist in the city.
