JAKARTA - The National Museum of Indonesia will reopen tomorrow, Tuesday (15/10). The museum located on Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat No. 12, right at the heart of the city of Jakarta and across the National Monument was closed to the public due to the fire that occurred on September 16, 2023.

Present with a new face of 'cultural imagination', the National Museum showcases a variety of new collections at temporary exhibitions, including the 'Worrowing Nekara Irradiating Fire' exhibition which tells the story of efforts to restore post-fire museums, to repatriation exhibitions featuring various statues and relics of cultural heritage objects resulting from repatriation from the Netherlands.

In addition, visitors can also see facial similarities to the tribes in the archipelago at the Facial Exhibition of the Archipelago located in Building A. Not only that, visitors can also enjoy the ImersiveA space that combines digital technology physically to provide a fresh perspective on Indonesian history and culture.
