Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Jakarta Provincial Government is using\ntechnology in its museums to make them more appealing to the public,\nparticularly younger generations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe use information technology to present [the collections] in a more\nengaging way for young people,\u201d said Sri Kusumawati, head of the Art\nMuseum Management Unit at the Jakarta Provincial Culture Agency, during\na museum outreach and collection information event in Jakarta on\nMonday.<\/p>\n
The use of immersive technology, which makes visitors feel as though\nthey are in a real-life environment and situation, is one example of\ninnovative museum development and management at the Wayang Museum.<\/p>\n
The museum\u2019s immersive space is equipped with a super-hologram area,\na 360-degree immersive room and interactive games.<\/p>\n
The museum\u2019s displays have also been redesigned, featuring minimalist\nglass display cases and placing the focus on the collections,\ncomplemented by the beauty of the heritage building.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, what makes people want to visit a museum is not how\nadvanced the information technology on display is. The star attraction\nis the museum\u2019s original collection,\u201d Sri said.<\/p>\n
She said a modern museum was not merely one with valuable\ncollections, but one capable of benefiting the public and providing\nmeaningful experiences for everyone.<\/p>\n
An inclusive museum, she added, was not simply one that opened its\ndoors to everyone, but one that ensured every visitor felt welcomed and\nrespected, and had an equal opportunity to enjoy and understand cultural\nheritage.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us make the Wayang Museum not only a place to remember the past,\nbut also a space that inspires us to build the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-uses-technology-in-museums-to-attract-visitors-1792389075", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
