Wayang

ꦮꦪꦁ

Illustrated Website of Wayang Nusantara

Every wayang here can be rotated, zoomed in, and have its arms moved via the gapit, just like in the hands of a dalang behind the kelir. Starting from the gagrag Surakarta collection, all collections on this website are based on photographs of authentic wayang reprocessed using AI (Artificial Intelligence); this website grows slowly alongside collection owners and sanggar who lend their wayang.

This website is continuously updated and developed. If you find any errors, we greatly appreciate your suggestions, critiques, and contributions to improve this site. Please submit them via the page About.
