About this audio guide
This guide to Pasar Seni Ancol in Jakarta follows the ground beneath the market, from brackish water, mangroves and fish ponds on the edge of the bay to the painters' lanes of the nineteen seventies. You'll meet the developer Ciputra and his idea of artists selling straight to the people looking at their work, and hear which great Indonesian painters once gathered here. Best heard walking slowly between the open studios.
