IKN Authority Prepares World Class Museum Development

The Capital Archipelago Authority (OIKN) has prepared a world-class museum in the area so that it will become one of the new icons for the Indonesian people.

"So, we want it to be in the archipelago world-class. One of them is the museum. We will try to formulate it again later. Of course, we will ask for the opinions of art and culture experts, arts and cultural schools such as IKJ, ISI and others as well as activists, experts," said Head of the OIKN Agency Bambang Susantono after visiting one of the museums in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Friday (2/12) local time, quoted by Antara.

Bambang said that in order to realize the existence of a world-class museum in the archipelago, his party had communicated with cultural observers, art activists and even conducted studies in several countries with museums known to the world.

All of this was done to help define a world-class museum that can reflect on the diversity of the Indonesian nation in a museum that will be built in IKN in the future.

"We are making several comparisons in Europe, in several places and also later we will consult with museum foundations in Indonesia so that later we will get the best," he explained during a visit on the sidelines of the COP28 event in Dubai, UAE.

The development of IKN, which is being built on the island of Kalimantan, is one strategic priority project listed in the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN).

The construction of the new capital city of Indonesia was carried out in the period 2022 to 2045.
