Melaka Gallery (Indonesia)

Melaka Gallery^[a] (Indonesian: Galeri Melaka) is a gallery in Jakarta, Indonesia which displays various pictures and items of the Malaysian state of Malacca.^[1] It was established by renovating an old building at Jalan Malaka. The street location was chosen due to its name resemblance.
