Namesakes
It is also the name of two historic roads in Kelurahan South Petojo, Gambir District. One of these roads, Tanah Abang 1, hosts the old Dutch Cemetery, now partly a museum Museum Taman Prasasti burial place of Olivia Mariamne Devenish, Eurasian wife of Stamford Raffles.
The city's important Textile Museum is, contrary to as is colloquially stated, in West Jakarta (Kelurahan Kota Bambu Selatan, Palmerah District) just over the western border.
