Statues at the DPR/MPR building

In her article "DPR/MPR building a silent witness" published in the March 7 edition of The Jakarta Post, Sri Wahyuni related in detail the history of the building.

She did not mention the statue in front of the building, which has the theme "the future". It is the work of But Muchtar of the Bandung Institute of Technology.

Many people consider this work of art the most beautiful modern statue in Jakarta.

The statue of the Garuda, the state's symbol, on a wall of the main assembly hall also needs mentioning. It was created by Gregorius Sidharta, also associated with the institute.

An article about historical buildings should not omit the structure's art works.
