Batiks of Indonesia: Java and beyond
Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.

The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery showcases the beauty of Indonesian Batik with a new exhibition Batiks of Indonesia: Java and beyond.
Batik is a method of decorating fabric using wax resist and there are a myriad of ways of using the technique in many parts of Europe and Africa. However, it’s on the Indonesian island of Java that batik has reached new levels – it’s been featured on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Batiks of Indonesia: Java and beyond features Indonesian pieces from the Coleman Collection, celebrating the cataloguing and digitisation of over 250 fabrics in the collection. As well as the cloth, you can learn more about the historical context and see the technique in use via instructional videos.
