The article focuses on museums’ activity that reaches beyond the walls of their premises in the context of a concept of the so-called third place. The third place – as a gathering place which is neither one’s home, i.e. first place, nor workplace, i.e. second place – was described by an American sociologist Ray Oldenburg in 1999 in his book The Great Good Place: Cafes, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons, and Other Hangouts at the Heart of a Community. Three study cases have been used in the article: Museum Forum (project carried out by the National Museum in Kraków), Bródno Sculpture Park (project co-conducted by the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw), and the method of work implemented by the Ethnographic Museum in Kraków, including in particular the project Dzikie Planty (Wild “Planty” Park). I discuss assumptions the projects have been based on, how they fit in an overall strategy of the museums, and reasons why they have been undertaken. Finally, I wonder whether having been conducted in a fully accessible public space and conducive to users’ interaction make it justified to categorise them as the third places in the meaning given by Oldenburg. Although Oldenburg’s concept has been regarded by museum theorists as not applicable to museums, I have come to the conclusion that projects conducted by museums in a non-committal context of an open space meet the conditions the third places do.

The third place is a space for humans to meet and exchange information, this research of Third Place uses criteria from The Great Good Place, a book by Ray Oldenburg(1999). It is not home and it is not a place to work, the third place is often used as teenagers to gather. The third place has an important role for humans, therefore all humans have the right to have it in the environment they live. The lack of a third place in the Pondok Kelapa causes its citizens to go downtown where the third room is better and this causes traffics on weekends. The purpose of this research is to apply the criteria of the third place in the arts and culture building as a positive container as well as a community forum for the environment. Keywords:  Art and Culture; Expression; Third place Abstrak Pondok Kelapa adalah Kelurahan yang berada di tepi Jakarta Timur dan didominasi oleh pemukiman, menurut data dari Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (disingkat BKKBN)[1] dominasi umur di pondok kelapa berkisar 6 tahun hingga 22 tahun, umur dimana lebih suka berkumpul bertukar informasi dengan teman seusianya. Ruang ketiga adalah ruang untuk manusia bertemu dan bertukar informasi, penilitian ini menggunakan kriteria dari buku Ray Olderburg tahun 1999 yang berjudul The Great Good Place. Ruang ketiga bukan rumah dan bukan tempat berkerja, Ruang Ketiga sering dijadikan remaja untuk berkumpul. Ruang Ketiga memiliki peran penting untuk manusia, maka dari itu semua manusia berhak memilikinya di lingkungan Ia tinggal. Kurangnya ruang ketiga di pondok kelapa menyebabkan warganya pergi ke pusat kota dimana ruang ketiga lebih baik dan hal ini menyebabkan kemacetan di akhir minggu. Tujuan dari penilitian ini adalah menerapkan kriteria ruang ketiga pada bangunan seni dan budaya sebagai wadah positif juga wadah komunitas bagi lingkungan.
