Museum Layang-Layang Indonesia

We had a fun morning exploring the kite museum in Jakarta with the scouts.

While I initially heard our guide talking about ‘lions’, I quickly learned that layang-layang means kite in Indonesian.

Our guide shared information on the kite’s history in Indonesia and then took us on a tour of the museum to see all the kites – many have been flown in regional competitions.

After the tour, the kids got to make their own!

It was not a particularly windy day, but that did not stop the kids from trying to fly their newly created works of art!
