Mataram
Mataram is the chief town of Lombok and the administrative center of the Indonesian province of Nusa Tenggara Barat. It is now for all practical purposes amalgamated with the two formerly independent townships of Ampenan and Cakranegara, but each has preserved something of its distinctive character.
Mataram itself is a kind of garden city, in which all the main agencies of the provincial government have their offices.
Apart from the Museum there are no features of tourist interest in the area, unless the busy and colorful life of the town is so regarded. There are, however, a number of places to see within easy reach of the town.
