The museum's neoclassical building was put up between 1866 and 1870 to designs by the architect W.H.F.H. van Raders, at a cost of 269,000 guilders, with a triangular pediment over a portico of columns. It was built as the Raad van Justitie, Batavia's Council of Justice, and opened under Governor-General Pieter Mijer in January 1870. From the Japanese occupation to the end of the revolution in 1949 it served as quarters for the Dutch military mission, and after independence it became an Indonesian army logistics store. From 1970 to 1973 the building was the office of the mayor of West Jakarta, and in 1974 it was renovated for the city's museums and history department. At the suggestion of Vice-President Adam Malik, President Soeharto opened it as the Balai Seni Rupa, a fine-art hall, on 20 August 1976. On 10 June 1977 Governor Ali Sadikin opened the front wing as a ceramics museum, and in 1990 the two were merged as the Museum Seni Rupa dan Keramik. It is run by the Museum Seni management unit of Jakarta's culture office. The collection numbers about 460 works of fine art — paintings, sketches, sculptures and totems from across Indonesia — and around 12,000 ceramics from Indonesia and abroad, including China, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Europe. The painting rooms follow Indonesian art chronologically, from the era of Raden Saleh through the Hindia Jelita painters of the 1920s, the Persagi group of the 1930s, the Japanese occupation, the founding of artists' studios after 1945 and the realism of the 1950s to contemporary art. Four paintings, by Raden Saleh, S. Sudjojono, Hendra Gunawan and Agus Djaya, were designated cultural property of Jakarta in 2022. The museum stands on the east side of Fatahillah Square, which it shares with the Jakarta History Museum and the Wayang Museum, a short walk from Jakarta Kota station. It opens Tuesday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and, since May 2025, from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays; it is closed on Mondays. Adults pay Rp10,000 on weekdays and Rp15,000 at weekends, foreign visitors Rp50,000. Facilities listed by the culture office include an auditorium, a health and nursing room, a children's play room, a prayer room, a garden and a ramp.
