The Time Capsule Monument had become the location where the dreams of Indonesian children from 34 provinces are kept inside a futuristic-looking capsule. It accommodates seven dreams for the country throughout 2015-2085.
Expressions of dream kept inside the time capsule encompasses aspirations for having Indonesia’s human resources that rival and exceed those of other nations, being a hub for education, technology, and civilization, and the most self-sufficient nation in the Asia Pacific region.
