Page "Culture of Indonesia" Paragraph 3

Indonesian art-forms express this cultural mix.

Wayang, traditional theater-performed puppet shows, were a medium in the spread of Hinduism and Islam amongst Javan villagers.

Both Javanese and Balinese dances have stories about ancient Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms, while Islamic art forms and architecture are present in Sumatra, especially in the Minangkabau and Aceh regions.

Traditional art, music and sport are combined in a martial art form called Pencak Silat.
