Description

Originally established in 1864 to conduct research focused on tropical colonies like Indonesia, the institute has since evolved into a center for education, culture, and social innovation. The interior retains detailed period craftsmanship, from a massive wooden ceiling over the main hall to statues and sculptures set into walls and staircases. Ground-floor rooms host workshops and gathering spaces, while a compact theater with comfortable seating accommodates smaller cultural events.
