History

Balai Sarbini is historic monumental building whose idea came from Lieutenant Genelar (Ret) HM Sarbini. Mr. Sarbini was in charge of the Ministry of Veteran and Demobilization in 1963.

 inaugurated the project on January 6, 1965 by putting the first stone as the starting of the project. Eight years later, on March 11 1973, President Suharto officially launched Gedung Veteran Republik Indonesia. The architect of the building was Ir. Moerdoko.

In 2000, after revitalization phase which does not change the structure and the condition of the building, Balai Sarbini appears with “new face”. It is not only historic monumental building but also the most representative place in Jakarta to hold cultural activities. Furthermore, it can also generate revenues for Indonesia.

To enhance its performance as a center for cultural activities, the managemant of Balai Sarbini invited audio consultants to upgrade the acoustic system inside the building. Especially in the Main Hall. With the upgrade, currently Balai Sarbini is known as the place with the best acoustic system in the downtown of Jakarta.

On February 23, 2004, President Megawati Soekarnoputri signed a plaque commemorating inauguration of the new Balai Sarbini. From this poin of time, we expect that Balai Sarbini would become the most preferred place for Indonesia's art–lovers and performers to hold their activities.

Balai Sarbini is managed by PT Dome Semanggi Indonesia.
