| The Indonesian Heritage Society, Jakarta
is a non-profit organization offering the opportunity to learn more
about the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia. The varied activities
of the society, including tours, lectures and study groups, provide
a stepping stone to discovering the culture, life, history and art
of this vast archipelago. The society has a large multinational
following that includes many Indonesians and, while most activities
are conducted in English, the French and Japanese sections provide
the opportunity to participate in projects conducted in their own
languages.
