Disappointing national museum<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
At the end of July, I visited the National Museum on Jl.
\nMerdeka Barat, Jakarta, for the first time. While I thought the
\nmuseum would be a major source of information on the nation's
\nhistory, I noticed several things that made me very disappointed.<\/p>\n
First, the ancient inscriptions were not positioned in proper
\nand protected places, but they were just put in rows, even
\nwithout labels specifying their details. Therefore, the
\ncollections were not able to enlighten a layman like me.<\/p>\n
Second, lots of other collections, including statues, had no
\nlabels to identify them, some of which might have been lost while
\nothers were not yet properly attached.<\/p>\n
Third, I got confused over which room I should start from to
\ngo around the museum. As a comparison, Bandung's Sri Baduga
\nMuseum has its collections placed chronologically from the
\nentrance to adjacent rooms in proper order, making it easier to
\nget a historical view of the exhibits.<\/p>\n
I hope my findings and suggestions will be beneficial to the
\nrelevant authorities.<\/p>\n
