Hitchcock analyses the role of the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah near Jakarta in the post-colonial process of creating Indonesian identity. The paper strongly underlines the political aspect behind this museum's conception and the importance of the political will to impose a national message through its construction. As the entity called Indonesia is a result of a long period of Dutch colonialism, it is no wonder that the perspective of a new nation state with the same name provoked a strong aversion among the different populations on Indonesian territory. Therefore a strong political will to construct a real unity out of this multi-ethnic patchwork was needed. The creation of the museum is a symbolic expression of the political determination to maintain Indonesia and build a strong nation state. Adapted from the source document.
