The Ministry of Culture, through its Museum and Cultural Heritage unit (MCB), has released the Museum Passport (Paspor Museum), which can be stamped at a number of locations. “We hope the Museum Passport can be a first step, an innovative move to make visitors come to museums. It should become a lifestyle, like going to a shopping mall. Attending museums should become a cultured lifestyle,” said Culture Minister Fadli Zon, quoted by Antara on Wednesday, 20 May 2026. So how can you obtain the museum passport and the stamps? See more below. The launch date coincided with the MCB’s anniversary. Tourists can purchase it directly at IHA Shop or souvenir stores under MCB management. Not only in museum areas, the reach of the Museum Passport sale is planned to be expanded to other places. According to MCB, the institution plans to collaborate with bookstores to broaden distribution. Once you have the passport, visitors can stamp it with seals in the book. The stamps are provided at several participating museums. Each location has its own unique design, meaning stamps may differ. The locations are spread across various administrative levels, including district/city and provincial museums. The programme is not limited to government-owned museums. Esti also welcomed private sector participation.
