Indonesia celebrates Museum Day with exhibitions in Solo

Indonesia celebrates Museum Day on October 12, a date commemorating the first Indonesian Museum Deliberation held in Yogyakarta from October 12–14, 1962. The official designation of the day was formalized during a subsequent meeting in Malang in May 2015.

In Solo, Central Java, the Solo City Culture and Tourism Office, in collaboration with nine local hotels, organized a temporary exhibition to mark the occasion. The event aims to provide the public with easier access to historical education and cultural heritage, while utilizing public spaces to strengthen national identity and encourage tourism.
