Written by
Two new comic books were launched on Sunday February 4th in Jakarta to encourage young Indonesians to visit museums and learn about their culture and heritage. The books were published by a group called the Culture and Museum Lovers of Indonesia (KPBMI) that held a launch party for the books at the National Museum in Central Jakarta. The group's chairman Dhanu Wibowo said that the group worried that young people no longer care about their culture and history, and don't like going to museums. The group want to entice them back to museums, and not just to take selfies. The comics, "Ayo ke Museum" (Let's Go to the Museum) and "Cagar Budaya" (Cultural Heritage), were both written by members of the group. Dhanu said, Ayo ke Museum tells kids what museums we have all over the country and what interesting activities are available there. Meanwhile, Cagar Budaya tells them how young people can help preserve our cultural heritage. The group said they decided to release the guide books as comics to make it easier for young Indonesians to understand the message. People of all ages and backgrounds make up the members of the KPBMI. They meet regularly for public discussions and museum visits every month. The group was established in 2015 and has been working together with the Education and Culture Ministry since last year on campaigns to encourage young Indonesians to learn more about their own culture and history.
