Museums and visitors
From Merdeka
Museums in Jakarta and elsewhere in Indonesia are in a similar
state; there are few visitors, even on Sundays and holidays. The
situation is not proportionate to the number of inhabitants and
visitors from abroad.
I do not know whether or not the little appeal museums seem to
generate is caused by the unattractive arrangement of the
historical objects displayed.
It is necessary to think of efforts to make museums and
centers of history into attractive tourist sites. The museums
will be educational for both young and old. They will also be
satisfying to visitors as they can obtain knowledge on the
meaning of the history of our nation and country.
