One Of The Best Museum In Jakarta, Museum MACAN
It's been a while since I'm not blogging! So, last week I went to Museum MACAN with my friends. It takes around 2 hours from my place, so I have to wake up earlier because I have to take a commuter-line.
The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara (Museum MACAN) is the first institution of public access to significant and growing collection of modern and contemporary art from Indonesia and around the world. Theme of the first exhibition is Art Turns. World Turns. This exhibition marks the first public outing of the Museum's Collection. Art Turns. World Turns, is a snapshot of 90 artworks from a collection of nearly 800 works.
Art Turns. World Turns, start from November 4th 2017 - March 18th 2018.
Loc: AKR Tower, Jalan Panjang No. 5, Kebon Jeruk, RT/RW: 11/10. Kb. Jeruk, Kota Jakarta Barat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta, 11530.
This museum just open on Tuesday - Sunday from 10AM - 7PM.
How to get there:
1. Take a commuter line from Bogor station (or any nearby station) to Angke / Jatinegara station.
2. Then, you can get off at Tanah Abang station.
3. Then, take a commuter line from Tanah Abang station to Serpong station.
4. Then, get off at Palmerah station.
5. You can try to use Gojek / Grab/ Uber. If you haven't download this application, it's better to download this application. This app can make your trip easier.
The Museum is in the tower, so if your driver said you already safely arrived and you don't see the museum, don't panic, just ask a security guard there, and you can go to the museum. You just walk there, and take a lift, press M, and now you already in the museum.
Because I went there on Tuesday and around 11 AM, that's why we can buy a ticket without any queue. If you're a student, don't forget to bring your Student ID and you can buy a ticket just Rp 40000. For an Adult's price: Rp 50000 and children's price: Rp 30000. You can buy it online in here: https://ticket.museummacan.org/EV900004
Because, we went there on Tuesday so the place isn't too crowded, but I bet if you go there on Saturday / Sunday / Holiday, it will be super crowded. Because, after lunch time, this place become more crowded, so I suggest you to go there before lunch time.
Don't forget to bring this booklet because this booklet is so useful, they have a lot of information.
They have 4 periods:
1. Land, Home, People (From mid -19th to early 20th Centuries)
2. Independence and After ( From World War II and the Indonesian declaration of Independence in 1945)
3. Struggles Around Form and Content (From 1960s and 1970s).
4. Global Soup (From the 1998 Reform marked new era in Indonesian history).

The artwork in here show how artist reflect on their times, and how they make art as way for people to see the world around them in different ways. So, here some of their artworks:
[ Juling (2005) - I Nyoman Masriadi ]
[ A Father is Trying to Collect the Memories of His Family (2016) - I Dewa Ngakan Made Ardana ]
And, don't forget to see, one of the most popular artwork in here, this is Infinity Mirrored Room by Yayoi Kusama.
In this museum you can also go to the café, if you want to drink something. But, we don't go to there because we don't have much time (we want to go to somewhere else). If you have more time and want to enjoy more, I suggest you to chill a bit with your friends there. Because the atmosphere is good.
The Children's Art Space is a dedicated area for children within the Museum. The installation there incorporates artworks, murals, and education activities that explore ideas of "Floating Gardens". And, you can take a picture there even tho you're not children anymore lol.
So, what are you waiting for? If you have a free time or want to have me-time, just make sure you go to there and enjoy all the artworkS. Follow the rules, respect the artist and the staff, be calm, don't eat or drink in the exhibition, and don't use flash. Have a good time!
Peace Out,
qiis.
