Taman Tino Sidin

Amazing museum and gallery, full of memorabilia from the great Tino Sidin.

A homage mini museum for local artist, so it might not really suitable for foreigners, though if you want to learn drawing in a day, you can try to visit.nnLocated in a narrow and busy street, the place will be hard to miss from the road since it has a big statue of the artist at the side road.nIt is the artist's private home with some parts are converted into museum to commemorate his works.nTino Sidin is a local artist well-know in the late 80's to early 90's for appearing in the national television channel. His program was a simple drawing show for kids but super popular, kids sent their drawing from all over the country in wish for being showed during the last minutes of the show. He would teach kids to draw easily with step by step instructions and gave positive feedback throughout the show. For him, all drawing is good, none is so-so let alone bad.nnWhen you enter the front side of the house/museum, you will be met with the in house museum educator that will welcome you. Then you can write on the guest book and pay the ticket. If you are students, the price will be different. By the time I visited, regular ticket is 10k and student's is 5k.nnYou can venture around the museum but be careful since it is still part of someone's house (the late artist youngest daughter lives in the house).nThe second floor contains more artworks and if you're lucky, you can see the museum's students' artworks as well. FYI, they open drawing classes for kids.nnAt the end of the tour, the educator will let you sit on a mat and play a documentary about the artist. Then, you can learn to draw Tino Sidin style from the only remaining episode of the show (since made before the digital era, other episodes are ruined by mold and or missing from inventory T.T )nnTips:nThough it is a small museum, people come from all over Indonesia especially those who grew up during the artist's TV program. So come early to avoid crowd since the place is small and will be packed just by coming in a group of 10.nNo parking area is provided. If you go by motorbikes, you can park in front of the front door but usually the house owner parks her car there.nIf you go by car, you can only park on the street side (a very busy one).nThe artist's artworks are mostly prohibited from documentation along with the only remaining episode. So, please respect the rules.

Great place. Cool.
