JAKARTA - Head of the Indonesian Air Force Central Museum Dirgantara Mandala (Muspusdirla) Colonel Sus Yuto Nugroho said that social media (social media) is an alternative medium to introduce museums to the public, including mainstream media.

Yuto said this during a discussion entitled 'Strategy for Promotion of Museums Through Social Media' at the 2023 Bantul Museum Communication Forum Facilitation Ceremony at Adisutjipto Air Base, Yogyakarta, Friday, April 28.

"There are many kinds of social media that can be used to introduce and publish museum activities, ranging from Facebook, YouTube, WhatApp to Instagram and many other applications," he said in a written statement, Friday, April 28, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, the sophistication of social media is able to convey information with unlimited distance.

"Social media connects with each other and connects various information with everyone simultaneously," he said.

In Muspusdirla itself, there are various collections, ranging from Indonesian Air Force uniforms to various types of aircraft used by the Indonesian Air Force.

"Most of the aircraft collections in Muspusdirla have been used by the Indonesian Air Force. These planes are not only the work of the sons of the Indonesian nation, but also from various countries, both the West Block and Eastern Block countries," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the History and Summary Division of the Bantul Cultural Service, Kun Ernawati, said that the existence of museums in Bantul is a great strength to participate in boosting the number of tourist visits in Bantul.

"For this reason, communication, cooperation, and mutual assistance are needed between museums," he said.
