OIKN, France Museums discuss development of futuristic museum

Jakarta, Indonesianpost.com – The Nusantara Capital Authority (OIKN) and museum consulting agency France Museums discussed the development of a museum equipped with futuristic technology in the new capital city (IKN) Nusantara, East Kalimantan Province.

“We would like to know how to develop an up-to-date museum. For example, we used to see museums that display history, but now, we can see museums applying futuristic concepts, such as holograms,” OIKN Head Bambang Susantono noted in a statement received here on Friday.

Susantono then explained that the authority visited French museums in Paris to gain insights on ways to develop a museum that applies futuristic technology.

“In addition to merely discussing how to build a museum, the Nusantara Capital City Authority met with the France Museums to gain knowledge on how to develop a museum equipped with futuristic technology,” he stated.
