Museum to hike entrance fee

SURABAYA: The management of the Mpu Tantular Museum will increase its entrance fee next month, museum officials said.

"The fee hike is not due to the monetary crisis as this was proposed a year ago to increase state income," head of the museum Himawan was quoted by Antara as saying recently.

The entrance fee will rise from Rp 100 to Rp 150 for children, Rp 50 to Rp 100 for each person in a group and Rp 200 to Rp 750 for adults. (10)
